This document discusses factors that contribute to the development of leadership skills and social capital in gifted young people and adults. It outlines several theories related to talent development, including Operation Houndstooth theory, Executive Function theory, and Co-cognitive Factor Intervention theory. The document emphasizes that gifted individuals have the potential to become leaders and influencers, and educational institutions have a responsibility to support their ethical, moral, social and emotional development in addition to cognitive development. It also discusses the importance of social capital and education's role in cultivating socially constructive giftedness.

8. • When 11-year-old Aubyn
Burnside heard about how
many children in foster
care programs are forced
to carry their belongings
in garbage bags because
they cannot afford
suitcases, she was
shocked and saddened. "I
thought they must feel
like garbage themselves,"
she said. So, Aubyn
founded Suitcases for
Kids, dedicating herself to
ensuring that every child
in foster care would have
a bag of his or her own.

12. Underlying
Assump:ons
For
Studying
Intelligences
Outside
The
Normal
Curve
1.
Persons
with
high
poten:al
will
emerge
as
leaders,
policy
makers,
and
persons
of
influence
in
all
walks
of
life
including
religion,
poli:cs,
business,
government,
science,
the
arts
and
humani:es,
and
other
domains
that
define
a
society
and
a
culture.
2. Educa:onal
ins:tu:ons
and
programs
that
serve
high
poten:al
youth
have
a
responsibility
to
provide
opportuni:es,
resources,
and
experiences
that
contribute
to
the
ethical,
moral,
social,
and
emo:onal
development
of
young
people
as
well
as
their
cogni/ve
development.
“I
have
found
that
the
higher
the
IQ,
the
earlier
moral
concerns
develop
and
the
more
profound
effect
they
have
on
the
child.
R.
A.
Silverman
Journal
of
Personality,
1994
Research
shows
that
when
children
are
young
they
develop
what
you
call
intui:ve
theories.
It’s
like
powerful
engravings
on
your
brain.
Teachers
don’t
realize
how
powerful
they
are,
but
early
theories
don’t
disappear,
they
stay
on
the
ground.
Howard
Gardner

Kogan,

13. Why is Social Capital important?
And what is education’s role
In the production of Social Capital?
Two insightful quotes…

14. We
are
not
engaged
in
producing
just
good
performers
in
the
market
place
or
able
technocrats.
Our
task
is
the
educa:on
of
good
human
beings,
purposeful
and
wise,
themselves
with
a
vision
of
what
it
is
to
be
human
and
of
the
kind
of
society
which
makes
that
possible.
Dr.
George
Carey
Former
Archbishop
of
Canterbury
I
now
understand
that
my
welfare
is
only
possible
if
I
acknowledge
my
unity
with
all
the
people
of
the
world
without
excep:on.

18. Today's
kids
view
chea:ng
as
part
of
the
path
to
success
By
Victor
Dorff
Chea:ng
was,
is
and
probably
always
will
be
a
fact
of
life.
Recently,
technology
has
provided
new
ways
to
cheat,
but
advanced
electronics
can't
be
blamed
for
our
increasing
willingness
to
tolerate
it.
Once

a

being
an
honorable
person
included
the
no:on
that
your
word
was
your
bond,
and
integrity
was
a
crucial
element
in
establishing
a
good
reputa:on.
My
teaching
experience
tells
me,
however,
that
lying
and
chea:ng
are
seen
by
a
lot
of
kids
today
as
a
crucial
part
of
any

22. Contemporary Undesirable Trends In
Young People’s Values Systems
• Rampant materialism, conspicuous consumption
• Self-indulgence, narcissism; limited interest in social,
political, ethical, environmental, and moral issues
• Lack of interest in the well-being of others
• Cultural tribalism (asserting one’s differences while
depreciating the differences of others)
• Maximization of personal gain; career choice based on
making money
• Obsession with the theatre of celebrity
• Manipulated by the “cultural industry” that focuses on
consumption, media, and marketing to promote
identity creation
• Substituting Virtual For Real World Relationships

24. Actions that benefit others -- single individuals or targeted
groups, entire communities, the culture or society-at-large,
the Earth’s resources…
• Social Capital is produced when people take
action in the following areas:
Social Justice, Economic Fairness, Political
Activity, Cultural Enhancement, Ecological
Preservation, and Ethical, Moral, and Spiritual
Leadership
Definition of Social Capital
…as distinct from actions that are only taken only to
benefit one’s own financial gain, status, power or
authority, or how one is viewed in the eyes of others

25. Gemeinschaftsgefuhl (adj) (German)
Ga-mein-shafts-ga-fuel
lack of ego involvement; focusing on problems outside
one’s self; social interest; feeling of kinship with others;
democratic character structure; unhostile sense of
humor; kindness; regard for fellow human beings.
Filotomo (Greek)
Giving of yourself and expecting nothing in
return

26. No society can sustain itself unless its members have
learned the sensitivities, motivations, and skills
involved in assisting and caring for other human
beings. Yet the school, which is the setting carrying
primary responsibility for preparing young people for
effective participation in adult life, does not, at least in
American society, give high priority to providing
opportunities in which such learning could take place.
Uri Bronfenbrenner

27. It’s a simple, easily forgotten truth that
we need one another. I sometimes think
that history might easily say about this
nation:
“It was a great nation full of talented
people with enormous energy who forgot
that they needed one another.”
John Gardner

38. Execu:ve
func:ons
are
broadly
defined
here
as
the
ability
to
engage
in
novel
situa:ons
that
require
planning,
decision-­‐
making,
troubleshoo:ng,
and
ethical
leadership
that
is
not
dependent
on
rou:ne
or
well-­‐rehearsed
responses
to
challenging
combina:ons
of
condi:ons.
It
involves
organizing,
integra6ng,
and
managing
informa6on,
emo6ons,
and
other
mental
func6ons
that
lead
to
“doing
the
right
thing”
in
situa6ons
that
do
not
have
a
predetermined
or
formulaic
driven
response.
These
func6ons
are
especially
important
to
highly
capable
people
because
of
their
access
to
extensive
amounts
of
knowledge
and
broad
range
of
experiences
within
and
across
disciplines.

55. "The things that will
destroy us are: politics
without principle; pleasure

57. An
important
ques:on
that
we,
as
educators
of
the
future
leaders
of
all
aspects
of
the
important
work
of
the
world,
must
ask
ourselves
–
the
area
in
which
we
should
be
taking
the
lead
in
educa:on.
In
an
era
of
homogenized,
shrink-­‐wrapped,
germ-­‐free
curriculum,
we
are
depriving
our
students
of
opportuni:es
to
think
cri:cally
and
to
inves:gate
the
things
that
are
some
of
the
most
important

facing
today’s
