“Gifted” feels passive. We are talent developers. @brianhousand #ncgifted #ncagt23

Is it boredom or is it distraction? @gifted_guru #ncagt23

Students have re-wired their brains for multiple dopamine hits an hour with video games and social media. Ts have to combat this threshold in their lessons. @gifted_guru #ncagt23

Predictability, monotony, confinement, and unmet expectations lead to boredom in our students. @gifted_guru #ncagt23

Predictability is a definite path to boredom. Students need balance between macro-structure and micro-change to battle boredom and monotony. @gifted_guru #ncagt23

Boredom is one of the top 5 most used words in gifted Ed. The inability to live in our skin when we don’t have a task or activity is a barrier to learning. @gifted_guru #ncagt23 @ncagt
