Description
Despite widespread discussion about the need for differentiated curriculum and instruction for gifted and talented learners, there is increasing tension between research and classroom practices. While the majority of differentiation strategies focus on cognitive development, there is mounting evidence that specific attention to affective adjustment is a pivotal for maximizing talent development of any kind. In this session, participants will: explore the social and emotional foundations necessary for academic and other kinds of human achievements; will learn about several studies investigating social and emotional differentiation; and will examine techniques for addressing content and social/emotional issues in an integrated, comprehensive fashion.
