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:

Education Week: Studies Shed Light on 'Twice Exceptional' Students - 0 views

  • Emerging research on the "neurodevelopmental paradox" of twice-exceptional students highlights the need for educators to take an earlier, more holistic approach to evaluating and teaching students with disabilities. Often, when people think of a gifted student with disabilities, they picture an autistic savant, like Dustin Hoffman's character in the movie "Rain Man," but in reality, "there are a lot of kids who are really struggling, and we totally miss them," said M. Layne Kalbfleisch, the principal investigator of the Krasnow Investigations of Developmental Learning and Behavior, or KIDLAB, at George Mason University, in Fairfax, Va. Ms. Kalbfleisch and other experts estimate there were 300,000 twice-exceptional students—intellectually gifted children also diagnosed with learning disabilities—in 2004, when the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act first noted that students with disabilities may also be gifted.
