Best Practices for Nurturing Intellectual Competence (Gifted and Talented…

- - - - Strategies for differentiating and multiple intellegences
        
        Kinesthetic Learners- act out a scence, projects, role, experiments, dance, field trips, and information walls
        
        Auditory learners- play videos, audiobooks, literature circle, oral presentation
        
        Visual Learners- charts, graphics, videos, draw or sketch ideas, thinking maps, and visual displays.
        
        Tactile learners- task cards, learning circles, dice, sand trays for writing, board games, and interactive whiteboards
        
        Incorporating all the different learning styles when teaching makes the lesson engaging and students stay on task
      - Social and Developmental Theroies that Influence Curricular Decisions
        
        Zone of Proximental Development- to describe the difference between what children can do alone (i.e., without help) and what they can do with assistance (Oswalt, 2010).
        
        Information Process Theory-describes how children retain, organize, and use information while learning and how these abilities change over the course of children's cognitive development (Oswalt, 2010)
      - Scaffolding-children gain experience with problem solving on their own, adults/peers will naturally decrease the amount of prompting and direction they provide to children (Oswalt, 2010).
- - - - :STAR: Homogeneous grouping allows gifted students to challenge one another.
  - - - :star: Instruction that requires them to make choices and are active in their learning.
        
        :star: They need to be given the opportunity to converse with one another and work cooperatively.
    - - :STAR: Multiple intelligence theory has been closely linked with learning styles.
        
        :STAR:Learning styles and multiple intelligence share some similarities.
        
        :STAR: The learning styles and multiple intelligence's should be applied in combination since theories interpret there are some limitations.
        
        :STAR: Both learning styles and multiple intelligence's can work together to form a powerful and integrated model of human intelligence and learning.
  - - - :STAR: A stronger sense of personal identity promotes trust in their own cognitive appraisal and helps recreate balance in the simultaneous adjustment mechanism.
- - - - Engaging
        
        Diverse Learning Needs
      - Multicultural
      - Access to all learning styles
      - Relevent
      - Connects with students
  - - - The best utilized theory that will be implemented is cognitivism-learning is defined as change in a learner's schemata. Thinking, memory, knowing, and problem-solving are to be explored.
        
        Cognitivism
        
        Constructivism
        
        The three major theories of learning will be utilized in teaching
        
        Behaviorism
        
        Logical-mathematical: numbers and reasoning
        
        Bodily-kinesthetic- the whole body and hands
        
        Interpersonal and Intrapersonal-social interactions and self-knowledge
        
        Linguistic: the intelligence of words
    - - Class inclusion
      - Environment inclusion
  - - - Interacting with students
      - Socially and Culturally inclusive
      - Teacher effectiveness
    - - Teacher effectiveness
        
        Adjusting assessing and testing
        
        Teacher preparedness and content
- - - - BEST PRACTICES
        
        Opportunities to practice
        
        Instructional strategies that enhance understanding
        
        Systematic student assessment
        
        Student-directed activities
        
        Explicit skill instruction
  - - - SOCIAL & DEVELOPMENTAL THEORIES THAT INFLUENCE CURRICULAR DECISIONS
        
        Nativist theory - Humans are born with a theoretical "language acquisition device" that allows us to learn language
        
        Learning theory - Children learn a language through repetition and reinforcement
        
        Sociocultural theory - Children learn language out of a desire to communicate with the world around them
  - - - DIVERSE LEARNING NEEDS
        
        Visual/Spatial Learners - Provide visual cues to help them remember language
        
        INCORPORATING MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES
        
        Body/Kinesthetic Learners - Combine physical actions with linguistic responses
        
        Interpersonal Learners - Balance opportunities for group learning with individual learning
        
        Logical/Mathematical Learners - Teach students grammar analysis
        
        Provide students insight into thinking processes (metacognition)
        
        Make relationships obvious among concepts, words, or ideas
        
        Model skills and strategies step-by-step
        
        Pair instruction with visual prompts
