West African Teen Invents Gadgets From Scrap Metal, Visits MIT and Harvard - ABC News - 0 views

  • He's the most prolific inventor in his West African village of Freetown, Sierra Leone
  • "The exceptional thing about Kelvin is he's a very poor kid with very little infrastructure. He's been able to harvest that talent with virtually nothing," said Laura Sampath, manager of MIT's international Development initiative. "He takes apart and then learns by what he's seeing and can rebuild it, often better than what he's seen in the first place."
  • Sengeh and his team had 70 applications from 300 students, trying to solve some of Sierra Leone's most challenging issues.

  • Doe, along with two other students from Sierra Leone's Albert Academy, came together to build a prototype station. Sengeh says Doe's application stood out because of his speed in implementing his idea.
  •  
    "Doe is the youngest of five children and says he's been inventing gadgets since the age of four. He gathers scrap metal and other materials to create electronic solutions for his town. His inventions have caught the eye of university professors and scientists at academic institutions in the U.S., including Massachusetts institute of Technology and Harvard."

The Answer Sheet - How to help African-American males in school: Treat them like gifted... - 0 views

  • I wanted to cry when I read about the recent widely publicized report from the Council of Great City Schools about the underachievement of African-American males in our schools. Its findings bear repeating: African-American boys drop out at nearly twice the rate of white boys; their SAT scores are on average 104 points lower; and black men represented just 5 percent of college students in 2008.
  • Driven by the intense focus on accountability, schools and teachers used standardized test scores to help identify and address student weaknesses. Over time, these deficits began to define far too many students so that all we saw were their deficits – particularly for African-American males. As a result, we began losing sight of these young boys’ gifts and, as a consequence, stifled their talents.
  • We need to shift from remediation focused on weaknesses to mediation that develops strengths.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Finally, students must be enabled to be more active in their own education. Schools should give students opportunities to participate in teachers’ professional development aimed at enriching curriculum, improving teaching and expanding the range of materials students create.
  • In this way, student strengths will be illumInated. Teachers will get meanIngful feedback on their Instruction. Numerous ideas for creative classroom activities will be generated, and new bonds between teachers and students will develop. We must embrace a new approach to African-American males that focuses less on what they aren’t doIng and builds on what they can and want to do as the path to improvIng their academic performance.

The Secret to Raising Smart Kids: Scientific American - 0 views

shared by anonymous on 23 Apr 09 - Cached
  • As we had predicted, the students with a growth mind-set felt that learning was a more important goal in school than getting good grades. in addition, they held hard work in high regard, believing that the more you labored at something, the better you would become at it. They understood that even geniuses have to work hard for their great accomplishments. Confronted by a setback such as a disappointing test grade, students with a growth mind-set said they would study harder or try a different strategy for mastering the material.
