Short description: What do Bronfenbrenner, the Greenland Problem, and the Solar System have to do with understanding the developmental trajectory of gifted and Twice-Exceptional (2e) learners? Two researchers share the story of how the Spiral Model of Development has emerged and how it can set a new paradigm for educators and researchers.
Learning Outcomes: Participants will:
Experience the journey of developing a conceptual model based on a super synthesis of multiple theories with quantitative structures
Develop an understanding of this model and how it can set a new paradigm for educators and researchers
Learn how the concepts of time, cartography, and spatial modeling give way to a new conceptual framework, the Spiral Model of Development, introduced here to reframe our current understanding of Twice Exceptionality
