Social and Emotional Curriculum for Gifted StudentsEdition 1

The Social and Emotional Curriculum for Gifted Students series provides the gifted resource specialist, regular classroom teacher, or counselor with the tools they need to help gifted students in grades 3-5 develop interpersonal skills, reflect on their often intense emotions, and express their creativity. The grade 3 book:

• Contains five units and more than 50 hours of instruction.
• Shares helpful directions for implementing lessons and connecting content across the curriculum.
• Addresses psychosocial skills.
• Features critical thinking activities, hands-on building and design, reading, writing, creativity, and math and science connections.
• Covers relevant topics, including resilience, growth mindset, perfectionism, empathy, self-understanding and identity, friendship, and what it means to be gifted.

Each classroom-tested lesson addresses one or more affective standards from the National Association for Gifted Children, psychosocial development areas for gifted learners, and academic standards.
