Dean of Faculty Davidson Academy Online Reno, Nevada, United States
Short Description: Davidson Academy Online has been a leader in synchronous online learning for gifted students since 2015, long before the pandemic-era shift to virtual learning. In this presentation, we will share our best practices gleaned from 10 years of teaching gifted students online. Attendees will understand how taking a holistic and systematic approach to online learning has resulted in positive educational outcomes for gifted students, and they will leave with tactics that they can apply to their own fully-virtual or hybrid classrooms.
Learning Objectives:
Attendees will better understand the benefits and challenges of online learning for gifted students and those who support them. This information will go beyond pandemic-era online learning.
Attendees will gain information about educational technology and human-centric online learning tools that have been successful in our work with gifted students.
Attendees will benefit from the lived experience of administrators, teachers, and staff members who have been delivering online education to gifted students for a decade.
