In cartoon “Maggie Simpson in The Longest Daycare” it is shown that Maggie is dropped off for day care. When she first enters the daycare it seems very secure and technologically advanced. Maggie whom seems like a young child goes through a security screening as if she was in an airport. She takes her bow and pacifier out and enters the detector. Followed by going through the detector she then passes through to see if there are lice in her hair.…
The visual data represented in the article “Young Kids, Old Bodies” states that in the white race boys and girls are at boarder line as it comes to deciding which gender is at a higher percentage of obesity. In black’s, girls hold the higher percentage of obesity between boys and girls. And in Hispanics boys have a higher percentage of obese children with in both genders. According to the American Epidemics “since 1980 obesity prevalence among children ages 2 to 19 has tripled”, this is sadly alarming. Obesity has developed frequently among small children and it is concluded to continue to increase.…
The Purdue Three Stage Model The Purdue Three Stage Model is a framework for a program or curriculum with an emphasis on creativity, higher level thinking, problem-solving skills, and independent learning abilities. This model is dependent upon trained and creative teachers willing to teach, facilitate and finally offer resources for each individual student. Criterion 1: Respect for individuals with diverse abilities, strengths, and goals (PARTIALLY MET) The Purdue Three Stage Model ’s gifted identification process includes particular attention to a student 's’ creativity and potential rather than traditional measures of above average scores in order to include English Language Learners, low income families, and minorities (Moon et al., 2009,…
I was very interested in finding out more information about the Schoolwide Clustering Group Model (SCGM), so I have chosen my school to be based on this model. From the readings on gifted and talented education, it has been stated that schools today are experiencing dramatic changes. Gifted programs that have been around for years are disappearing, and will not likely be replaced any time soon due to budget issues. That is why I chose the SCGM because I believe it is a solution to helping gifted and talented students reach their potential, and it does not seem to require as much money as other programs to implement. Furthermore, the plan includes equitable and effective measures for the entire student body.…
Commonly, children are an exact copy of their parents whether in their matching personality and the way they look and sometimes personality and looks both. With the biological set of parents it is not easy to match the children with just their looks. The believed is that a single human have 7 identical in the world. And you may take it strange that there are babies who look like world-famous celebrities with whom they have never met in their past.…
I agree with the article “Raising smart kids” I believe that children who are smart they shouldn’t be labeled as smart or gifted. However, these labels leads, to children thoughts of being the best and focus on keeping their parents happy. However, once the gifted child doesn’t meet the requirements of their parents and teacher’s children become stressful and begin to have anxiety when completing assignments and tests. The child can’t focus on mastery when he or she mind is preoccupied with avoiding mistakes and getting a high score compare to mastering the assignment.…
When people see kids as disabled or below the average child they are automatically labeled and put off to the side because they do not have the same abilities as everyone else. In her essay “Cognitive Outlaws”, Joann Ellison Rodgers claims that children with dyslexia or other learning disabilities are not handicap and that is not how they should be defined by their mental disability but by how they perform in the classroom. She claims that the brightest minds in the world have all had some sort of learning disability. Einstein and Edison failed basic schooling and were diagnosed with Dyscalculia. In the essay “Autism and Visual Thought” Temple Grandin writes of her experience with Autism and how she thinks in pictures and not words and had to…
I think the purpose of this article is the content change of how the educational system will change dramatically with machines and in general technology will replace the authority of what teachers have for students. Like when she said “But that means these stories about education and educational technology -- past, present, future -- really matter.” The strategies that Audrey Watters uses are for educational purposes, along with the technology in which will be teaching the next generation of society. In article she wrote that soon for school work we will be able to write and communicate with our computers and write our assignments with the computers and submit to the computer that will be the school authority that next generations will experience.…
This labeling is the cause for higher recidivism rates among these youthful offenders. Due to the lack of opportunities available to them, since they have little to no chance of going to college or getting a job, they will continue with there crime. This labeling theory creates a social problem. These children who are labeled convicts become repressed through prejudice. Colleges do not want convicts attending their schools and employers do not want convicts working for them.…
There are many pros and cons that come with labeling a child with a disorder, first lets look at the pros. The pros of labeling a child is that the parents now have an idea on how to help their child. If a child is hyperactive and they finally get their child diagnosed with ADHD then they can get medication for them that will help the child. In the long run this child can focus more in school. In this case it is beneficial to label a child.…
Of the participants, 75% male and 81% female were pursuing educational careers beyond a bachelor’s degree and within this group, 56% were aspiring towards doctoral degrees (Lubinski et al., 2001). However, the study also found that identifying gifted students by adolescence is not enough to predict future academic accomplishments (Lubinski et al., 2001). It is recommended to use multiple specific-ability assessments when evaluating students to allow for appropriate planning of educational and career goals (Lubinski et al., 2001). Specific measures have shown to be of significance when identifying academically talented students, including mathematical and verbal reasoning abilities with special consideration to the strength of one to the other (Lubinski et al., 2001).…
To What Extent is Intelligence Related to People with Depression? “Identifying Genius is a dicey venture”. This was said and used by a professor of pyschology, Keith Simonton. Although some may find it hard to believe, studies have shown that the intelligence of people is related to whether or not they are in a good mood. I came to understand this when I read “The Science of Genius” by Keith Simonton.…
Introduction: Gifted and talented students are often seen as a group that does not need any help, but they are as important as any other group of students in our schools. While there is not a uniform definition of gifted and talented students, generally, 2-10% of students in the United States could fall under this category, and are usually identified as having an IQ in the top 2-5% or scoring in the top 5-10% on standardized tests (Worrel, 2015, pg. 123). But, unlike other groups of students, gifted and talented students are usually not as funded as other groups of students. The total state and federal funding for gifted education in the United States was less than 0.15% of the entire education budget.…
Thus, one is twice as likely to find a gifted person by sifting through those without a high school diploma than by sifting through those from a random population, even tossing in college graduates and PhD 's. Perhaps that attests to the tortured souls of many of these…
When looking at an individual and deciphering if he/she can be classified as a gifted person, there are several criteria that one needs to take into consideration. For identification purposes, educators and other professionals no longer solely look at one’s fixed intelligence but other aspects that when stimulated and nurtured can grow a person’s talents whether cognitive, intuitive/creative, or motor/sensory expressions. “Growth of intelligence depends on the interaction between our biological inheritance and our environmental opportunities to use that inheritance” (Clark, 1997, p. 26). Because of this, careful considerations need to be made to ensure that individuals are afforded the opportunities to reach his/her full potential.…
