This episode is, “Teaching Gifted Students!” In this show we discuss A Stone* of Solutions™ including: 1) Full disclosure, I was in gifted (or gifted and talented) programs from elementary school, through middle school, high school and in college (undergraduate study). 2) I loved these classes and they were often the only bright part of my academic experience. I had challenges with being bored in other classes and would consequently not attend class (as I got older). 3) I love information and learning. Unfortunately, some of the schools I attended (and I attended a lot of them due to my family moving often as my father was in the military), did not have curriculum that provided me the opportunity to learn new information. I would then either mentally check-out (daydream, etc.) or physically check-out (not show up). 4) My anecdotal experience and professional teaching experience has led to the conclusion that children on the different ends of the skill acquisition spectrum are not provided adequate resources for a quality education (due to the need for limited staff resources to be directed towards the average student skill set). 5) From the National Association for Gifted Children, "Good teaching for gifted learners is paced in response to the student's individual needs.Often, highly able students learn more quickly than others their age. […] Good teaching for gifted learners happens at a higher "degree of difficulty" than for many students their age." - See more at:http://www.nagc.org/resources-publications/gifted-education-practices/what-it-means-teach-gifted-learners-well#sthash.XlYLESnO.dpuf 6) "Instruction for gifted learners is inappropriate when it asks them to do "more of the same stuff faster." Reading more books that are too easy and doing more math problems that have ceased being a challenge are killers of motivation and [...] In this episode our topic is, “You Don’t Need To Be THE BEST; You Just Need To BE (THERE).”
In this show we discuss A Stone* of Solutions™ including: 1) Why I love this show topic! 2) There is so much that people complain about and/ or use as excuses for why they have failed to surpass their goals in life (bad luck, bad timing, not born rich, not born famous, etc.). 3) The reality is that simply showing up in life is the key to amazing opportunities. 4) I have spoken with people who have given me all kinds of rationalizations regarding why they are unhappy and they overlook the immense power of simple presence. 5) Just be there. 6) You don’t have to worry about more than that step in many instances. 7) If none of the people who you think are better than you, smarter than you, more talented than you, better looking than you, better educated than you, etc., show up; by default you will often be selected. 8) The idiot politician. The incompetent boss. The yucky looking person with a great spouse. The stupid business owner. The famous singer who “has no talent.” The “singer” who has a terrible voice. How did they do it? They all showed up. You didn’t. 9) That is why they are where they are and you [...] |
