Using the Spiral Model to Understand the Multiexceptional (ME) Developmental Trajectory

Using the Spiral Model to Understand the Multiexceptional Developmental Trajectory

Saturday, November 11, 2023
3:00 PM – 3:30 PM East Coast USA Time
Location: Durango 1
As the Spiral Model of Development begins to take hold in the multiexceptionality (ME) community, we must examine the variables contributing to the appearance of competency within four domains: Academic, Social, Emotional, and Physical. The paradigm is shifting to a holistic perspective, understanding that culture, language, gender, SES, intellect, and a multitude of factors play a role in developing talent.

Learning Objectives:

  • Attendees will develop an understanding of this model to examine the distortions of our current understanding of gifted asynchrony within the four domains of development.
  • Attendees will learn about the differences between Twice-Exceptionality (2e) and why the field of gifted education is moving towards ME.
  • Attendees will experience the journey of developing a conceptual model based on a super synthesis of multiple theories with quantitative structures.
