Description
Praise can be effective - a positive motivating force, but not all praise is equally effective. In fact, some types of praise may harm more than they help. This session is based primarily on the work of Dr. Carol S. Dweck whose research has provided new insights into the effects of praise on the types of effort and motivation that lead to student success. In this easy-to-understand interactive session, parents and educators learn how to support the gifted children in their lives so that they can maximize their learning potential.
