Emotional intelligence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

    Emotional intelligence ( EI) or emotional quotient ( EQ) is the capacity of individuals to recognize their own, and other people's emotions, to discriminate between different feelings and label them appropriately, and to use emotional information to guide thinking and behavior.

Growth Mindset Video - YouTube - 0 views

  •  
    Carol Dweck researches "growth mindset" - the idea that we can grow our brain's capacity to learn and to solve problems. In this talk, she describes two ways to think about a problem that's slightly too hard for you to solve. Are you not smart enough to solve it … or have you just not solved it yet? A great introduction to this influential field.

Keep Talking - Communication Games - 4 views

  •  
    Looking for games and activities to do with your students to help them learn to use their communication systems more effectively and engage in social interactions? CALL Scotland to the rescue! Their website provides a wealth of free downloadable games and activities designed to provide fun communication opportunities.
  •  
    "Below, you'll be able to download a short but constructive and fun communication activity for a youngster who uses AAC. The activities aim to help a student to learn and practise - in other words, use! - his or her communication aid to enjoy interactions with others and build up useful social and communicative experiences. To benefit, you first need to ensure that the Talker is always out of its bag, charged up, and on the table/wheelchair mount ready for daily use. That done, even a 5 minute 'gap' can be turned into a useful communication game. The activities are taken from CALL's 'Keep Talking' book, which was inspired by the teacher who, on one of CALL Scotland's visits, said with some desperation 'I know I'm not doing enough. Somehow, my brain goes all fuzzy - I just can't think of any communication games...'."

Do You Use 3×5 Cards? Rethinking the Research Process | Digital Writing, Digi... - 0 views

  •  
    This past weekend, our department chair received an email from a local high school English teacher who asked, in short, should they be teaching students how to do a "traditional" research paper - including the use of 3×5 note cards - because some of his colleagues are strong supporters of it and others consider it "archaic." He wanted to hear a response from a college professor about how best to prepare students for the kinds of research that they would be doing in composition courses that they would be taking after high school. Below, I have copied and pasted the response that I offered him via email. And, now I ask you… What do you think - is it time to move away from "traditional" research paper writing processes?

Designing AAC Research and Intervention to Improve Outcomes for Individuals with Comple... - 0 views

  •  
    There is a rapidly growing body of research that demonstrates the positive effects of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) intervention on the communication of children and adults with complex communication needs. Despite the positive impact of many AAC interventions, however, many individuals with complex communication needs continue to experience serious challenges participating in educational, vocational, healthcare, and community environments. In this paper, we apply the framework proposed by the International Classifi cation of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) to illustrate the need to re-think AAC intervention to improve outcomes for individuals with complex communication needs, and to foster a new generation of intervention research that will provide a solid foundation for improved services. Specifi cally, the paper emphasizes the need to take a more holistic view of communication intervention and highlights the following key principles to guide AAC intervention and research: (a) build on the individual ' s strengths and focus on the integration of skills to maximize communication, (b) focus on the individual ' s participation in real-world contexts, (c) address psychosocial factors as well as skills, and (d) attend to extrinsic environmental factors as well as intrinsic factors related to the individual who requires AAC.
