Children with Spatial Strengths: Overlooked Engineers, Mathematicians, and Scientists
Track : Math and Science
Program Code: 1530

Time: 8:45 AM to 9:45 AM  EST
Room: C213
PRESENTER :
Rebecca Mann, Dr., Purdue University
Description
The need for engineers, mathematicians and scientists in the US is profound. Gifted children with spatial strengths are natural candidates for these positions, yet their areas of strength are often not addressed in school. Many of these children appear to wrestle with easy concepts but thrive on complexity. Strength-based instruction is needed to help these gifted students succeed in our verbally based schools. This presentation will give specific instructional strategies for use with these children. Techniques for working with spatial learners to develop basic competencies while using strengths in imagery, creativity, and higher level thinking will be shared.
