Details

Gifted and Talented (GT) students encounter challenging academic tasks that can often require a level of determination and persistence that can become stressful. While students are regularly supported in mastering challenging academic tasks, many students, especially GT students, also need methods for coping with the challenges that come their way.

By the end of this teacher professional development course, you will have built a Growth Mindset action plan and leave with many resources that you can provide to your students to help support their growth mindset.
