Creating Advocates: Gifted Education Awareness Week
Tuesday October 8, 2024 9:15am - 10:00am CDT
N201 A
Are you ready to become an advocate for gifted education, then teach your students how to be an advocate?  Creating advocates is a unit designed to teach the Missouri Gifted Learner Outcome skills of communication and advocacy to address the lack of awareness around gifted education.  In this session you will learn how to introduce and implement the four forms of communication; verbal, nonverbal, written, and visual.  You will then learn how to introduce and teach The Art of Persuasion using ethos, logos, and pathos for the purpose of advocacy.  These two concepts are combined when students produce a real-world product to persuade the Missouri State Board of Education to declare Gifted Education Awareness Week.  Finally, join other gifted educators, students, and programs across Missouri during the second full week of February to raise awareness about gifted education.  Bonus, basic advocacy skills can be transferred to ANY topic you or your students are passionate about!
