Our October #TeacherProudTuesday shout-out goes to Ms. Phoebe Pohlman, who teaches Gifted Education for Grades 1-5 at Perryville Primary and Elementary Schools. Her nomination says that “Ms. Pohlman has made it a priority of the program to teach students about what it means to be gifted, including teaching them about gifted overexcitability, which she and her students call ‘superpowers,’ or ways people who are gifted experience and exhibit intense psychomotor, sensual, emotional, intellectual and imaginational behaviors. This helps her students better understand themselves and their reactions to the people and the world around them, which might be different from the ways others around them experience and react; this equips them to be able to better understand themselves and navigate life in healthy ways outside of her classroom as they grow. In addition to impacting her students’ lives, Ms. Pohlman works to educate other educators about giftedness, giving presentations to faculty and staff during professional development meetings. She also contributes professionally to the field of gifted education outside of the district through publishing in education trade journals and presenting at conferences. Ms. Pohlman sees each of her students for who they are as individuals — their strengths and weaknesses — and seeks to challenge each of them to grow not only intellectually, but also as people inside and outside of the classroom. She loves to have fun with her students, and they love to have fun while learning with her, too.” You can nominate a #D32 teacher to be featured in an upcoming #TeacherProudTuesday by completing the form at https://forms.gle/VnGkeay5GPRptLEfA. #D32 #piratepride
