Labeling Exceptional Students |
there are negatives and positives of labeling student as exceptional, which is the same as special needs. Two advantages are that you can provide them certain tools they would not have otherwise and you protect them from being taken advantage of. The main negative is that you place them into a group and label them. This label may become a self-fulfilling prophecy and prevent them from making progress. |

Advantage of Standardized Tests |
they provide a way to track students' development and determine whether or not they need additional help. Some students will develop later than others and will need additional support. Some standardized tests, ACT and SAT, test the "readiness" for college of an individual. These tests are very general and can have cultural bias. Some kids are just bad test takers. |

Gardner's Multiple Intelligence Theory |
This states that there are many different types of intelligence. Some people may excel in one subject but fall short in another area. This theory is more accepted today. Think of math, SS, science, reading, and art as separate intelligences and it is clear that students can succeed in one but fall in another. |

IQ Scores and Distribution |
Average score is 100 with a standard deviation of 15. Anything over a 130 is considered superior and anything under 70 is considered extremely low. Standard deviation help to break down how many kids are going to be found in each scoring range. The most people will be found withing 15 points of 100 on either side with progressively less people scoring much higher or much lower. *important to note that to be labeled intellectually disabled by AAIDD that you need to be under the age of 18 |

Heredity vs. Environment (Nature vs. Nurture) |
this is the argument between scientists whether or not the genetic disposition of an individual or the way they are raised plays a bigger role in the development of intelligence. There is a combination of both that play a large part. Children who are provided an intellectually stimulating childhood will develop intelligence at a quicker rate, but obviously children have a of genetic variation and there is correlation between mother's intelligence and child's intelligence |
