Dark horses – getting the most out of ‘underachievers’
A good article and links about Todd Rose who heads the Laboratory of the Science of the Individual at Harvard and his latest work on ‘dark horses’ – those who seem to be failing or coasting through school but yet could be hiding enormous potential. His advice to teachers is: Help your students figure out what makes them “tick” — it often can be applied in a variety of contexts; let students practice autonomy; focus on personal responsibility; reward creative strategies. At ITS we have been working from this premise since the beginning. School can only do so much, students really flourish when they come to personalise their learning.
I’m not sure exactly why but this website is loading
incredibly slow for me. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a problem on my end?
I’ll check back later and see if the problem still exists.
At this time it appears like BlogEngine is the top blogging
platform available right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?
Hmm is anyone else having problems with the pictures on this blog loading?
I’m trying to find out if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Good answers in return of this question with genuine arguments and describing the whole thing
about that.
Hey I am so grateful I found your weblog, I

First off I want to say great blog! I had a quick question that I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
I was curious to find out how you center yourself and
clear your mind prior to writing. I have had a tough
time clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out.
I do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10
to 15 minutes are generally wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or tips?
Many thanks!
