Social & Emotional Curriculum: Learning With Heart

Neurodiversity Podcast - A podcast by Emily Kircher-Morris - Thursdays

Categories:

What kind of specific social and emotional support do high-ability kids need? How can we help high-ability students deal with perfectionism? How can teachers in gifted programs thrive when they are forced to play the role of counselor? How can we help neurodivergent kids cope with potential asynchrony between their emotional and intellectual abilities? We talk about all of these topics and more with Mark Hess, a Gifted Programs Specialist, on episode 86.
