CTD Pathfinders Webinar | Fostering Psychosocial Skills Necessary for Achievement

How can parents help their curious, bright children acquire the skills necessary to develop fully their talent, including setting goals, managing their motivation, embracing challenge, and controlling anxiety? How can they help their advanced students to cultivate social and psychological skills that will support high achievement?  In this session, Rhoda Rosen will present key psychological principles of learning and motivation and how they apply specifically to advanced learners, including resources for fostering motivation and other key psychosocial skills.
