EVENT DETAILS

Gifted on the Big Screen
Starting 2/4/2022
Event Groups:
• ESC of Lorain County - ESC
• ESC of Lorain County - Gifted and Talented
Description:
Much has been written about the use of popular film clips for cinematherapy with gifted students. However, the use of this media can also be a provocative way to educate teachers of the gifted about the underrepresented population of gifted students in education. Popular films can be used as a way to see the gifted through different lenses uncovering characteristics, stereotypes, socio-economic challenges, diverse populations, parenting issues, and cultural barriers that often prevent these underrepresented students from being identified. This PD is free to Gifted Consortium District Members and is a unique way to explore underrepresented populations while earning 3-15 professional development contact hours.
