11 Teach from the heart: Meeting the social-emotional needs of diverse gifted learners
Gifted children possess a higher level of sensitivity in the area of social and emotional development. This heightened awareness has a direct impact on the performance and success of gifted students. Thus, it is imperative that educational professionals develop an instructional model that incorporates these internal needs into the classroom. In this session, we will analyse how brain research, psychological theory, and educational pedagogy can be combined to deliver an emotionally aware curriculum that ministers to the SEL of the intellectually gifted learner.
