The document discusses supporting gifted learners. It defines giftedness and notes challenges gifted children face in learning. Barriers to learning for gifted children include asynchronous development and potential misdiagnoses of conditions like ADHD. The document recommends supporting gifted learners through self-regulated learning experiences, mediated learning experiences that involve scaffolding, and a shift toward deeper learning.
This slide is part of a collection of slides, I have created for exam revision from Atypical Child development. The contents of the slide are based on several different research papers.
After learning this unit, the learners can be able to
Describe the meaning and nature of individual differences
Bifurcate the areas of individual differences
Identify the causes of individual differences
Provide remedial measures for individual differences through general and special educational provisions.
take care of slow learners and finally be able to measure individual differences through various tests and techniques.

MFLN FDEI Quality Interactions Between Professionals and Families to Enhance ...milfamln
Young children learn through the interactions they have within their environments. These interactions include all of the people who support them (parents, family members, interventionists, therapists, childcare providers, and other practitioners). This session will focus on how practitioners can help parents, families, and other adult caregivers develop the types of interactions needed to have a lasting positive impact on the learning of their young children with disabilities.
Objectives:
1. Explore strategies for helping families understand early communication attempts of children before language is developed or in the presence of a delay or disability
2. Explore how adult-child interactions change to promote children’s learning
3. Explore the role of the environment in the interaction between parent and child

Online classes are convenient, but they’re not for everyone. Some children get “lost” when left to their own devices. That’s where “blended” learning comes in. The concept is simple. Your child takes advantage of an online course, but also has face-to-face interaction with a teacher.
The following presentation is a PowerPoint I completed as a part of my LAI 800 Graduate course in Gifted Education. It aims to educate people everywhere about giftedness, including who gifted children are, their strengths/needs, myths/realities about the gifted, teaching strategies to help educate the gifted, and some valuable resources with more information on gifted children/education. My goal is to spread knowledge about our gifted children and advocate for their needs. I hope you enjoy the presentation and continue to spread the knowledge. Thank you for viewing!
When young adults look forward in time to what their lives might be like as middle-aged
adults, too often they anticipate that things will go downhill. However, like all periods of the
human life span, for most individuals there usually are positive and negative features of
middle age. In this fi rst chapter on middle adulthood, we will discuss physical changes;
cognitive changes; changes in careers, work, and leisure; as well as the importance of religion and meaning in life during middle adulthood. To begin, though, we will explore how
middle age is changing.
How do teachers determine the special needs of the Students?:
Why don’t Students join to the communicative activities?
SLOGAN: The secret is in our Students.
Education of Gifted Children remains one of the most neglected area of our Education System. The rapid progress of Science, Technology & Research has clearly highlighted it's need & importance. This Presentation intends to create general awareness about Giftedness among Parents, Teachers & Administrators of Schools.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

3. SOME DEFINITIONS
• “Giftedness is a complex constellation of behaviours that can be
expressed in various ways, and there are honest differences of opinion
concerning how much of which behaviours are needed for a child or
an adult to be considered gifted”. Olenchak, F. Richard; Goerss, Jean; Beljan, Paul; Webb, James T.; Webb, Nadia E.; Amend,
Edward R. (2005-01-15). Misdiagnosis and Dual Diagnoses of Gifted Children and Adults: ADHD, Bipolar, OCD, Asperger's, Depression, and Other Disorders (Kindle Locations 233-235). Great
Potential Press. Kindle Edition.
• Giftedness is more than intellect - has an emotional depth
• Definitions that consider giftedness as potential to be developed
make a distinction between what a child is capable of achieving and
what the child will achieve. The fact that a child has exceptional
potential is part of what makes him or her gifted. The child’s
environment determines whether potential leads to achievement.

7. UNDERSTANDING THE ROLE OF SOCIAL &
EMOTIONAL DIFFICULTIES IN LEARNING
Two schools of thought on whether gifted children are particularly at risk for social and
emotional difficulties.
1. Gifted and talented children as being prone to problems and in need of special
interventions to prevent or overcome their unique difficulties
• ‘high potential children …not identified as gifted … often not in special school
programs … because of social and emotional difficulties that may develop in first
few years of formal schooling, when there are few attempts made to search out and
provide assistance to these children’ (Ballering & Koch, 1984; Webb, 1993).
2. Gifted children as generally being able to fare quite well on their own, and gifted
children with problems needing special interventions are seen as a relative
minority.
• ‘research on students from academic programs specifically designed for gifted
children. Such children, by the very nature of the selection process, are usually
functioning well in school, and are not experiencing major social or emotional
problems’ (Webb, 1993; Whitmore, 1980).
• Bottom line: social and emotional difficulties can mask giftedness and also influence
school performance
• Gifted children – ‘risk factors such as perfectionism or asynchronous development’
(Olenchak, F. Richard; Goerss, Jean; Beljan, Paul; Webb, James T.; Webb, Nadia E.; Amend, Edward R, 2005)
Lee Marsh (Cayzer)

8. BARRIERS TO LEARNING
• Generally, twice-exceptional students are those who meet the eligibility
criteria for both giftedness and learning disabilities.
• Giftedness usually pertains to high intellectual abilities or potential rather
than students' specific accomplishments. Gifted students are commonly
depicted as having exceptional abilities or potential for learning and
problem solving. It is important to understand factors that hamper this
potential.
• Learning disabilities are defined as problems in learning due to a cognitive-
processing difficulty in which the dysfunction affects one or more cognitive
processes instead of obstructing overall intellectual ability.

10. SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT
‘DIAGNOSIS’
• It the situation or setting perhaps inappropriate. Behaviours that fit in
one environment may be seen as problematic in another setting.
• Unspoken assumption that everyone should function equally well in
every circumstance.
• We see many children who have been referred with
diagnoses/suspected ADD/ ADHD, OCD, Asperger’s Disorder, ODD, or
Bipolar Disorder. Assessment might reveal misdiagnosis/overlooking
asynchronous development and giftedness (behaviours inherent to
gifted children not sufficiently understand or accepted).
• Can be a combination of factors - how to help children not feel so
very different
Lee Marsh (Cayzer)

11. DISCREPANCIES
• Emerick (1988) suggested this discrepancy might include any of the following
combinations:
• high IQ score and low achievement test scores;
• high IQ score and low grades;
• high achievement test scores and low grades;
• high indicators of intellectual, creative potential and low creative productivity;
or
• high indicators of potential and limited presence of appropriate opportunity for
intellectual and creative development.

15. SELF-REGULATED LEARNING
Self-regulated learning emphasizes:
• “autonomy and control by the individual who monitors, directs, and regulates actions
toward goals of information acquisition, expanding expertise, and self-improvement”
(Paris & Paris, 2001:1)
Self-regulation refers to:
• “refers to self-generated thoughts, feelings, and actions that are planned and
cyclically adapted to the attainment of personal goals” (Zimmerman, 2000:14)
Self-regulated learning - relies on learners being motivated and being able to exert
self-control in attending to tasks:
• Sustaining attention/not giving in to distractions
• Setting attainable goals – scaffolding!! TRAJECTORIES!!
• Persistence when challenged
Core principles:
• Autonomous learning
• Reflective learning & teaching … becoming engaged in their own learning process
