The Gift of Self: Developing Effective Self-Concept in Gifted Students

A healthy, effective self-concept promotes student achievement and life satisfaction. Telling kids they’re smart and/or pretty is the entirely wrong way to go about creating this. This engaging workshop focuses on specific, research-proven tools that build self-confidence and self-concept in learners (and the adults who serve them!).
