Description
Recent developments in the behavioral and social sciences provide insights into best practices for developing the talents of our young people from pre-school to high school. This session provides an overview of a U. S. Department of Education collaborative Javits project with NAGC, the American Psychological Association, and the National Research Center on the Gifted and Talented. The goal of the project is to apply new research on human abilities and our beliefs about these abilities to real-world issues facing gifted and talented educators. What can we learn from understanding how the malleable mind develops and how children and adolescents view their own abilities?
