2010 Convention - General Session |
Mindsets, Praise, and Gifted Education: How Our
Messages
Can Help or Hinder the Development of Talent |
One of the world's leading
researchers in the field of motivation, Carol Dweck is the
author of the book, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success.
In her presentation at the NAGC 2010 Convention, she shared:
- Why
brains and talent don't necessarily bring success.
- Why
praising brains and talent doesn't foster self-esteem
and accomplishment, but jeopardizes them.
- How
rewarding effort, persistence despite setbacks,
strategies... raises grades and productivity.

Important
Information - Online IEP - Present Levels
The General Information area
in the Online IEP does not require goal development. At
least one other area must be selected to develop goals.
Gifted Education teachers may address content in Reading,
Writing, Math, Social Studies and Science, of course; but
if focusing on enriching content with conceptual learning
and higher-order thinking across all domains, the area to
choose is Functional Skills.

The highlighted
site in this issue is manybooks.net.
Search for A Christmas Carol - you may download books free
in several formats including pdf.
Also, A
Christmas Carol Lesson Plans contains free lessons, resources,
activities and discussion questions.
"Patience, persistence
and perspiration
make an unbeatable combination."
