SUMMARY:Gifted Education Online Symposium 2023 - Hosted by Griffith University
DESCRIPTION:(Times are in Central European Summer Time) Convert to your time here. Theory alone rarely changes practice\, but stories can. This session introduces case study narratives as a professional learning tool for developing educators’ capacity to identify and serve gifted and twice exceptional (2e) learners. Grounded in the SPARKLE model research (Self-actualizing\, Personalizing\, Adapting\, Relating\, Knowing\, Learning\, Evolving\, Reflecting)\, we will discuss how case studies present realistic\, unresolved dilemmas drawn from classroom life; how they invite the creation of multiple perspectives\, and how they can enhance thoughtful decision making. Case studies can guide\, direct\, and support educators. We explain how case studies help educators make emotional connections with their students\, design personalized instruction for learners\, and inspire educators to connect theory to practice. The session closes with a summary of how using case studies in professional development impacts professional learning for educators. Learning Objectives Participants will be able to: Analyze a realistic case study narrative to identify multiple perspectives and possible contributing factors behind a student’s behavior and needs.Apply a reflective decision-making process that moves from personal reaction to evidence-informed instructional response.Explain how case study narratives support personalized instruction and emotional connection between educators and learners.								\n				\n				\n				\n							\n					\n					\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Members click here to register\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Non-members click here to register\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n						\n				\n				\n						\n					\n			\n											\n				\n					Eleonoor van Gerven				\n				\n					Dr Eleonoor van Gerven is director of Slim! Educatief BV\, a private teacher education institute in The Netherlands.
