In the first episode of Season 6 of the TAGT Podcast, renowned psychologist Robert Sternberg joins us to explore the evolving landscape of gifted education and why traditional methods focused on IQ and academic success fall short in preparing students for real-world challenges. Sternberg introduces the concept of "transactional giftedness", advocating for a more holistic approach that encourages students to use their talents to positively impact society. He emphasizes the importance of fostering creativity as an attitude and balancing intelligence with wisdom, ensuring that students not only excel academically but also contribute to the greater good. With personal stories and practical advice for educators, this episode offers valuable insights for rethinking how we nurture gifted students both in and beyond the classroom.Suggested Resourceswww.robertjsternberg.comrobert.sternberg@cornell.eduThis episode of the TAGT Podcast was sponsored by our friends at Renzulli Learning and Numinds Enrichment.www.renzullilearning.com | www.numindsenrichment.com Hosted on Acast.
