- Effort and Talent the correlation between the two and importance of effort over raw talent.
- Discrimination Direct vs Indirect and awareness of how to avoid this within the classroom.
-How to create a supportive and non-restrictive environment.

“teachers perceived themselves to be more successful if they had participated in professional learning that addressed the needs of students with impairments or learning difficulties, curricular and pedagogical adaptions for students and behaviour management techniques” 

- Ability groupings - streaming and the negative effects why do teachers still advocate homogeneous groupings?

- Only looks at the benefits of homogeneous groupings through the eyes of a high achieving student. Does not look at benefits of heterogeneous groupings from the eyes of the "average" student or that of a low achieving student.

IQ and ATAR scores doesn't measure everything, students have different types of intelligence(such as Gardener's)
Nature/NURTURE;
Some students have preferences on subjects and their preference and their drive to the subject and confidence would greatly affect the outcome.
What is the ROLE of teacher;
Is school's addressing the needs to nurture student's soft skills(communication skills, critical-thinking, creativity)
-Triarchic theory&Successful intelligence; Can we teach intelligence we don't have? (1)Analytical, (2)Creative, (3)Practical
We all have areas of development such as Pedagogical content knowledge and how to adapt to diverse students to teach (1)(2)(3) skills. We probably can't teach something we don't have.]]> 2020-05-14 23:15:00 UTC https://padlet.com/drscottwelsh/2raryi0zrjkt/wish/573930417 https://padlet.com/drscottwelsh/2raryi0zrjkt/wish/573930424 2020-05-14 23:15:01 UTC https://padlet.com/drscottwelsh/2raryi0zrjkt/wish/573930424 https://padlet.com/drscottwelsh/2raryi0zrjkt/wish/573930557 EAl is growing rapidly in Australia, Social economic status statues are varied as student enter school and both these factors or "disabilities"/ "special needs" should be understood and catered for, ie use of language aids.

- The addition of using some technologies to help with language aids, or even to some extant physical aids, would be seen as a added detailing to support the main point. TESOL practitioners chart and data from ICSEA help strengthen this point

-Teachers need to be highly sensitive to issues concerning social development for students with special needs and establish a classroom environment that is accepting of "otherness" and provides ample opportunity for interaction among students. 

-reminds us of the application of EAL in class
- family application of EAL and use of technologies
-using this idea in revers to understand Language Other Than English, ie Japanese (LOTE)
- what aspects of a socioeconomic statues affect how other perceive a student 

-that IQ is seen as almost "superior" when taking into account peoples other strength and extrapolating that idea into VCE

-what would be considered a disability whilst still being social included, why

-would a student who understand the work at a higher level than other students but not speak fluently

Early development 
Resources (equipment, transportation, encouragement)

Correlation between natural ability and practice 

Example: Michael Jordan is an example of how someones mentality and commitment is a more divisive factor than natural ability.

Strategies and structures that could be put in place to mirror this scaffolding of not only ideas but skills. However, it is crucial to consider the restrictions that this structure imposes, such as time constraint and overall students engagement when tasks become repetitive rather than interesting.]]> 2020-05-15 00:38:33 UTC https://padlet.com/drscottwelsh/2raryi0zrjkt/wish/574013319 https://padlet.com/drscottwelsh/2raryi0zrjkt/wish/578585898 2020-05-17 22:44:13 UTC https://padlet.com/drscottwelsh/2raryi0zrjkt/wish/578585898
