This course examines the social and emotional characteristics and needs of gifted and talented learners and the role of educators in creating supportive learning environments. Learners explore factors that may influence gifted learners' self-awareness, emotional well-being, coping skills, peer relationships, and leadership development. Emphasis is placed on recognizing individual differences among gifted learners, developing supportive classroom environments, and applying educational practices that foster positive social and emotional development. Learners use classroom scenarios and evidence-based practices to design learning environments responsive to the social and emotional needs of gifted and talented students.
