Description
Teaching gifted students tenacity, resilience, and emotional regulation can be a tough road for both students and educators. However, these psychosocial skills are some of the most important skills students can learn. In this course, Dr. Emily Mofield, the lead consulting teacher for gifted education in Sumner County Schools, and Dr. Megan Parker Peters, Assistant Professor and the Director of Teacher Assessment at Lipscomb University, will guide participants through using practical strategies and lesson plans that address the line between emotions and achievement motivation in gifted students.
In this 1-hour course you will discover:
- The psychosocial skills students need in order to develop tenacity
- Strategies to help your students learn through a social-emotional framework
- The challenges students face while developing tenacity, including perfectionism and mindset
