      Something I found interesting about 2e students in the contexts of pull outs is, the success rate and positive association these students have with smaller groups. It contrasts the experience that a lot of students who are exceptional who get small group pull outs and it makes them feel other. Or like there not able to succeed in the general education class.

  • The ADA is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and all public and private places that are open to the general public. The purpose of the law is to make sure that people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else.

  • In every cell in the human body there is a nucleus, where genetic material is stored in genes. Genes carry the codes responsible for all of our inherited traits and are grouped along rod-like structures called chromosomes. Typically, the nucleus of each cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, half of which are inherited from each parent. Down syndrome occurs when an individual has a full or partial extra copy of chromosome 21.

      Important to remember what the ADA does for people with disabilities
  • A person with a disability is someone who: has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, has a history or record of such an impairment (such as cancer that is in remission), or is perceived by others as having such an impairment (such as a person who has scars from a severe burn).

      Identifying 2e Students
  • Gifted learners exhibit different characteristics, traits, and ways to express their giftedness.
  • Giftedness is represented through all racial, ethnic, income levels, and exceptionality groups.  
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Early identification in school improves the likelihood that gifts will be developed into talents.
  • Because no two gifted children are alike is important to collect information on both the child's performance and potential through  a combination of objective (quantifiably measured) and subjective (personally observed) identification instruments in order to identify gifted and talented students.
