This session will include an overview of the social and emotional development of gifted children, emphasizing what has been learned from research. There are many myths that do not reflect the true realities of gifted children, and this presentation will focus on the special needs associated with growing up gifted.  Gifted children generally develop in an asynchronous or uneven pattern, with, for example, intellectual development typically outpacing emotional growth.  This asynchrony and other characteristics, such as overexcitabilities and perfectionism, can lead to difficulties in a gifted individual’s adjustment.  Dr. Amend will review the social and emotional aspects of growing up gifted and provide practical advice for parents and educators.

While the importance of social and emotional development of gifted youth is being increasingly recognized, it is still sometimes overlooked in the school setting.  Gifted learners should be provided with affective curriculum, differentiated guidance, and counseling services as needed to address their specialized needs that arise from their asynchronous development, over-excitabilities, perfectionism, and other characteristics associated with growing up gifted.  Dr. Amend will revisit the research on the social and emotional development of gifted youth and explore the benefits and barriers to implementation of appropriate services.  Discussion will focus on ways to improve affective services and strategies for attending to the social and emotional development of gifted individuals.

EILA credit will be available.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. –Western Kentucky University’s Ogden College of Science and Engineering and the Green River Regional Educational Cooperative will host the 2nd Annual STEMshot! rocketry competition for students in grades 4-12.

STEMshot!, a compressed air rocketry competition giving students the opportunity to engage in a challenging real-world problem based activity designed to enhance student’s critical thinking skills and understanding of next generation science content, will be held Oct. 24.

The competition will begin at 9 a.m. at WKU’s Center for Research and Development (2413 Nashville Road) as teams compete head to head in a horizontal range competition.  Rockets will launch from a double launcher at the same time, same angle, and same pressure.  The winning rockets (longest distance) will continue to compete in a single elimination contest to determine first place through fourth place winners.

Weather permitting, at 1 p.m. the competition will continue at the Aviation Heritage Park (1825 Three Springs Road) as students launch rockets again in a head to head maximum time of flight competition. This will also be a single elimination contest with rockets launched side by side vertically at the same pressure.  Contest will again determine first place through fourth place winners.

The STEMshot! initiative is a collaborative effort between WKU’s Department of Engineering and SKyTeach program and the Green River Regional Educational Cooperative. GRREC serves 41 school districts providing professional learning opportunities to teachers and administrators with the purpose of increasing student success.

Thursday October 29th  at 6:00 PM in 3023 DSU,  Dr. Charles Haynes will be delivering the annual L.Y. Lancaster - Hugh Puckett Lecture. His title is “Viral Threats and Emerging Technology to Combat Them”.  In the talk he will discuss Ebola and the recently developed vaccine against it.  While Ebola is a provocative example of a global threat, it does not presently represent a major threat in North America.  He therefore will also describe emerging viral epidemics here in the United States and Canada, and the technologies being developed in our laboratories and elsewhere to combat them.

The public is welcome.
