2) (Індивідуально). Прочитайте за варіантами списки порад учителям, що працюють із обдарованими дітьми Заповніть 4-у колонку таблиці вище.
ВАРІАНТ 1.
1. Використання міжпредметних зв'язків іноземної мови та психології, історії, фізики, що дає учням можливість для всебічного аналізу ситуації, формування та обґрунтування своєї точки зору.
2. Залучення учнів до участі в районних, обласних, всеукраїнських конкурсах, змаганнях, виставках.
3. Заохочення учнів використовувати списки самоперевірки (self-check lists) для підвищення рівня самоорганізації та самоконтролю.
4. Використання на занятті завдань, що імітують професійну діяльність (проведення екскурсій музеєм, редагування тексту, керування проектом тощо).
5. Залучення до розробки та впровадження власних творчих задумів та ініціатив (англомовних буклетів, календарів, збірок оповідань, віршів, листівок з підписами, проектів кімнати тощо).
6. Створення ситуацій вільного вибору вправ і завдань, де відповідальність за обране рішення приймає на себе учень.
7. Запровадження елементів автономії навчання учнів, при якій вони перевіряють один в одного домашнє завдання і проводять уроки самі.
8. Використання творчої діяльності учнів при проведенні різних видів масових заходів, відкритих і семінарських занять, свят.
9. Запровадження індивідуальних дослідницьких завдань (учні отримують проблему чи запитання, які потрібно дослідити; учні ознайомлюються з теорією, яку мають перевірити на практиці; учні порівнюють інформацію з однієї теми у тлумаченні різних наук).
10. Запровадження елементів групового взаємонавчання, при якому учні самостійно читають різні блоки інформації, навчають один одного в малих групах, а потім разом виконують завдання на її закріплення.
11. Read Lots of Everything. It is true, so many gifted students have found a book that becomes so much a part of them, they can discuss it at length. Bibliotherapy is a great way for students to experience how to deal with issues and learn tactics and strategies.
12. Pre-Assess Them. For the love of anything that is holy, this should probably be no. 1. Research states that most gifted students do not learn new information until January. Don’t make a student who has already mastered a concept sit through the lesson again.
13. Allow Them to Focus. Let gifted students pursue their interests. If they want to let everything be about dinosaurs, more power to them! We need paleontologists. As mentioned in Outliers, it takes over 10,000 hours to be an expert. To get that many hours on a time card, students have to be allowed to focus.
14. Practice Like Professionals. Allow students to practice like the professionals. Use the same processes that professionals use. Looking to try fashion designing? Have students actually sew, measure, use patterns and do the alterations. Visit the American Museum of Natural History’s OLogy interactive site.
15. Locate Authentic Audiences. The work students create should have a real audience and be appreciated by those who authentically would benefit from its completion. Younger students are a great first authentic audience.
16. Put Them in Escape Rooms. If you haven’t heard of these yet, drop everything and head over to http://www.breakoutedu.com/digital/. These are a great way to curate the knowledge you want your students to gain.
17. Watch Webinars. You can find webinars on just about any topic that interests your students. If you sign up at Edtech, they will send weekly lists of upcoming professional webinars.
18. Submit Inventions. Inventions are a great way for students to take risks and try different things. I feel like students are more apt to take risks when they are creating something new. Student Inventions for a Better America challenges students to submit an invention that will make the world a better place … and there are winners every month.
19. Check Out Local Happenings. Do you live in the middle of nowhere? Me too! But I was surprised to learn there were still a TON of events happening on the weekends. If you are in the urban areas, you are rich in opportunities. Look to local libraries, museums or universities.
20. Solve Local Problems. “With great power comes great responsibility,” says one of our favorite superheroes, and he is correct—kindness counts. We need to do good with the gifts and talents we have been given. Give gifted students the opportunity to solve local problems and see the need for change in their own community. Allow a book to inspire this mission: Wonder,Kindness Club, or The Summer I Changed the World in 65 Days.
21. Develop Book Clubs. What do friends all have in common? Interests!! We are attracted to those who think similarly and those who challenge our beliefs. Book clubs make for a great space for likeminded students to come together to discuss a common theme … in this case a book, which serves as a great discussion starter.
22. Allow for Voice and Choice. How many of you hated a certain book in high school only to read it as an adult and see how wrong you were? The moment we lost choice (of what to read in this case), we also lost joy. Allowing gifted students to have choice in the classroom allows them to feel empowered and engaged. Choices do not need to be huge either, small choices are just as important.
23. Brainstorm. This is one of the best ways to develop critical thinking. Show a picture of clouds … what do you see? This type of activity develops fluency, elaboration, originality and abstract thinking, which are all integral parts of being a creative thinker. Try Google’s Quick, Draw! It’s a great tool for getting students to think rapidly—it’s also a gem for indoor recess.
24. Model Curiosity. When the students ask a question you don’t know, look it up with them. As librarian media specialist Melissa Thom says, “the smartest people are the people who know how to find answers to their own questions.” Follow her on twitter at @msthombookitis.
25. Try Flocabulary. Flocabulary creates content-rich raps (yes, as in hip-hop) about just about ANYTHING. There are so many wonderful resources embedded within—contests, lyric labs, lyric notes, connections to primary sources, teacher plans, corresponding handouts, questioning and so much more! This will quickly become your favorite teaching resource. I promise!
26. Write Haikus. A frog jumps into the pond, splash! Silence again. This is Basho Matsuo’s famous haiku. Use haiku as a way to challenge gifted students to summarize chapters, current events, biographies or vocabulary words.
27. Connect Globally. Global Read Aloud is a program where one book is used to connect the world. Pernille Ripp founded GRA in 2010 with the simple idea to read a book aloud to her students and during that time try to make as many global connections as possible. This mission has grown exponentially and has reached over two million students. Collaborating with students in other states and countries will help a gifted student think empathetically.
28. Use QR Codes. QR codes add an interactive component to your classroom. Create a QR Code Museum or Gallery or even a QR scavenger hunt on one of your classroom bulletin boards.
29. Blog. This is an authentic way for gifted students to share their reading in a way that we would as adults. Creating readers means treating them like readers – when I finish a book I do not take a comprehension quiz. I talk about it, share it with friends or write about it. Have your students react to reading like real readers. Kidblog is a great tool for creating safe student blogs.
30. Be a Safe Space. Provide a safe space for gifted students to take risks without being put down. Gifted students are often timid to answer something they are unsure about because of the social stigma attached to not answering correctly. Create a classroom culture where wrong answers become an opportunity to celebrate different thinking. Check out Nancy Anderson’s book, What’s Right About Wrong Answers? Learning Math From Mistakes
ВАРІАНТ 2.
1. Використання рівневої диференціації з модифікованими (за складністю) завданнями для найвищого рівня.
2. Заохочення до пошуку альтернативних мовних засобів вираження думки (синонімічних лексико-граматичних конструкцій).
3. Заохочення до передбачення подій, що ще історично розвиваються і не скінчились.
4. Відмова від переказу текстів на користь трансформації їх змісту відповідно до поданої ситуації чи запитання.
5. Чергування форм роботи на уроці (індивідуальної, парної, в малих групах, фронтальної).
6. Чергування режимів роботи на занятті (традиційного, змішаного та віртуального).
7. Використання проектного навчання (традиційних проектів чи їх електронної версії – WebQuest).
8. Використання прийомів критичного осмислення інформації на уроці: Fish Bone, Six Thinking Hats, mindmapping, Tic-Tac, Another Side of a Coin та ін.
9. Аналіз на уроці цікавих фактів, випадків із життя, ідей.
10. Використання проблемного навчання, наприклад, кейс-методу (аналізу та розв'язання реально існуючих проблемних ситуацій).
11. Introduce Minecraft Edu. Don’t be scared to incorporate students’ passions and interests. I once had a student who never wanted to practice spelling words until I told him he could practice them in Minecraft. Minecraft Edu has lots of great ways teachers can implement this engaging game in the classroom.
12. Give Them End Dates. Provide gifted students with clear endpoints on projects and assignments. Gifted students can create unusually high expectations and never see an end in sight; a book reflection can easily become a 10-page paper, a PowerPoint can become an intensive course on the topic. Letting students know where to stop can be helpful.
13. Set Realistic Goals. Use FutureMe.org and have students write a letter to their future selves. Once students have written the letter, you can set the date for it to be sent to their inbox. What a great way for students to set goals and create natural check-in points.
14. Teach Decision-Making. Gifted students can have a huge case of FOMO: fear of missing out. They understand that decisions have consequences, and sometimes they need to be given an inordinate amount of details about their options. Allow for the gifted student to fully understand the pros and cons of a decision.
15. Be Patient. Gifted students are processing a lot in their minds. Be patient and give them the time to reflect on what they need to come to a consensus they can live with.
16. Assign Expiration Dates. My gifted students walk into class with exploding folders and binders. They keep everything because there is a fear of being unprepared. Just like expiration dates for food, think about adding a footer to your handouts: “This handout expires on April 15.”
17. Model Organization Strategies. Or at least model how you organize life. Gifted students like options and seeing how they work in the “real world” is very helpful. I show students how I use notes to organize things, how Google Calendar is my lifeline, and what I do for physical notes. I have used planners in the past and show those examples as well. We also review different apps that could be helpful. I urge students to find what works for them. No system is not an answer. We all need a system to help us be productive. When I taught younger students, we would all try different systems together as our end-of-the-day procedure.
18. Use Brain Breaks. Offer gifted students a hobby that can help calm their busy minds. Teach them how to Zentangle, breathe, meditate, make friendship bracelets, knit, color—anything that allows for them to focus carefully on details can help them quiet some of the extra noise.
19. Explore Their Passions. Some gifted students don’t have a passion yet because they haven’t found it. Provide exposure to as much as possible. TED talks are one way to help students think about different topics. TED even has created teaching enhancements. I heart TED.
20. Read Tons of Biographies. Reading, watching or listening to the lives of others can help gifted students develop a plan of action and see what others did to accomplish goals.
21. Know Their Interests. Every year, I start by having my students complete an interest inventory. This helps me ensure that curriculum is personalized to their interests.
22. Try Book Talks. Share what you are reading with gifted students. Often, these students experience a reading lag where they can’t find a sweet spot because it is hard for high-ability students to understand what is both challenging and appropriate.
23. Keep Them Active. Gifted students often need to have the ability to move when learning … pacing, flapping and bouncing are parts of their thinking process.
24. Offer Flexible Seating. A window seat is my favorite place to read, so I keep that in mind when offering seating. Try to offer different seating options for students: beanbag chairs, carpet squares, pillows, director chairs … the list can go on and on.
25. Model Social Situations. Social situations can be challenging for some gifted students as their ability to understand social cues can be underdeveloped. Team up with other teachers to model the proper way to start conversations.
26. Share Current Events. Current events are important to incorporate into gifted programming. We want these students to be thinking about how they can use their talents to solve real-world problems.
27. Look for the Helpers. As important as current events are, it is also just as important to understand that gifted students internalize global happenings on a very personal level. Kids do not have the experience with the world to understand that despite there being a war or attack, there are still good things happening in the world.
28. Allow for Groupings. Not all gifted students are meant to be the project manager. Allow students the opportunity to work alone or in a group. Even cross-grade groupings work well with gifted students.
29. Mind the Child Labor Laws. Gifted students who finish early should not automatically be the teacher’s helper. Gifted students can be some of the worst students to assist others because their brains often work very differently. Having a gifted child help a student who is struggling may do more harm than good.
30. Create a Makerspace. My grandmother always said, idle hands are the devil’s workshop … so keep some key things in the back for busy hands. LEGO bricks, cardboard and masking tape, and Snap Circuits are some of my favorites!
