Fostering the Emotional Growth of Children with Advanced Abilities - Webinar - Apr. 18,... - 0 views
-
Register for this webinar
What:
Mindfulness involves the practice of purposeful and immediate attention to feelings and behaviors in our personal and social lives. This means becoming aware of how present-moment experiences influence us. When we are mindfully healthy we demonstrate our ability to find balance in life by appropriately engaging within our current situation and environment, finding joy and contentment in the process and in the moment. Mindfulness practice encourages gifted and talented youth to use emotional intelligence skills more effectively as they face complex issues and conflicts in their lives. They learn to respond in thoughtful, heartfelt, kind and grateful ways to others. Healthy emotional development relates to children's heightened success in school, as well as to their improved relationships with friends and family. When:

Organizing Social, Emotional, and Behavioral Interventions along a Three Tiered Positiv... - 0 views

When: October 22nd, 9:30 am - 10:45 PM Mountain Brief Description of Webinar: A behavioral intervention gap exists, nationwide, in our schools. Indeed, surveys of schools nationwide indicate that they do not have enough professionals available to develop and implement essential social, emotional, and behavioral interventions. This is particularly compelling given the presence of many behaviorally challenging students—students who disrupt the academic climate of their classrooms, often are not academically successful, and who, many times, are early school drop-outs. This webinar discusses the need for schools to identify their behavioral intervention gaps, address them through systematic professional development programs, and implement strategic behavioral interventions so that challenging students receive the services they need and deserve.

What:
Difficulties associated with failure to master significant developmental stages and domains are often associated with insecure attachment and are compounded through childhood and adolescence. Attachment disruptions compromise normal childhood development and give rise to complex emotional and behavioral difficulties in many special needs youth. These special needs youth are often misunderstood, leading to poor assessments, misguided interventions and multiple academic and out-of-home placements that fail. Participants will understand the interface of attachment and developmental processes. They will also learn the origin and assessment of emotional and behavior difficulties and central issues that must be addressed to foster change and growth. When/Where:
