Four Factors That Promote an Achievement-Orientation Attitude With Your Child
Del Siegle
University of Connecticut

Description

Gifted students achieve for a variety of reasons. In this session, we discuss four factors that students and research suggest influence gifted students’ achievement. While there are many factors that contribute to achievement, achievement-oriented students exhibit four key traits: 1) they believe that they have the skills to perform well, 2) they expect that they can succeed, 3) they believe what they are doing is meaningful, and 4) they set realistic expectations and implement strategies to successfully complete their goals.
