Increasing Understanding of Pedagogical Content Knowledge
In the last article, we discussed the necessity of teachers refining their craft. Seven strategies were provided from the Phoenix Training Center (PTC, 2023) that offered the goal of teachers creating “a more engaging, effective, and enriching classroom experience for their students” (para. 9). Each suggestion was considered in light of the nature and needs of gifted learners. Recommendations included extensive understanding of the ways good teaching requires a variety of skills, attitudes, and willingness to learn new things as keys to ensuring gifted students have appropriate and challenging learning opportunities.
