Brain research is one of the hottest topics in education today.
We will discuss compelling research findings on brain topics relevant to educators. If time, other considerations, such as policies, may be addressed. One aspect of mathematics is the manipulation of objects in the real world. This will be an extension of a popular special topic from Edufest 2000. We'll cover strategies for life with a gifted child, building support for parents, keys to being an advocate and your role in the educational process, what parents should expect from the school and how to advocate for accommodation, learning about issues of identification, assessment, testing, grade or subject acceleration, and curriculum modification, and resources for help.
