This course prepares you with new vision and practical tools for developing your students’ talent potential and achievement. You’ll develop a ‘talent development mindset’; that integrates equity with excellence to view all learners as tomorrow’s innovators; today. Your students gain new confidence; self-efficacy; and purpose by identifying and applying their ‘aptitudes of innovators’: Curiosity; logical reasoning; creativity; insight; persistence; metacognition; leadership (and more). You’ll gain practical ways to nurture these aptitudes in the context of your current curriculum. The seven self-paced course modules present evidence-based strategies from the text Teach to Develop Talent (Corwin/Sage) along with 24 classroom-ready PDF handouts.
