It describes how Meddler teachers avoid simply providing answers and instead allow students to struggle productively and think through problems on their own. Examples shown include posing thought-provoking questions, assigning perplexing open-ended projects, and pointing out logical fallacies in clickbait headlines to encourage critical thinking. The goal of a Meddler teacher is to prepare students to think independently and creatively solve complex issues.
What's your problem? NAG 2020
This document contains a collection of slides on gifted education from Brian Housand. The slides discuss puzzles as a way to engage students, the importance of simulations and hands-on activities, and Joseph Renzulli's three-ring conception of giftedness which involves above-average general and/or specific abilities, high levels of task commitment, and high levels of creativity. Later slides discuss pursuing real problems and having students directly engage with societal issues through independent investigations to bring about change.
Tech Tips 2 Defeat Distraction NAG 2020
This document discusses strategies for promoting productivity and creativity while reducing distraction from digital devices. It begins by outlining some of the negative impacts of excessive smartphone and social media use, such as only spending 2% of time creating and feeling constantly distracted. It then provides several solutions, including tracking app and screen time usage, creating boundaries by turning off notifications and scheduling email checks, focusing on one task at a time using the Pomodoro technique, reducing consumption by deleting unneeded apps or social media accounts, and collaborating with others on creative projects. The overall message is that digital technologies should serve our goals of learning, creating and problem-solving rather than distracting or limiting us.

The document discusses gifted education and provides recommendations for its future. It notes that gifted education has a history of championing innovative instructional practices, but that many of these practices are now common in regular classrooms. It states that for gifted education to remain meaningful, the field needs a clear vision of what it wants the future to hold and to envision possible futures and outcomes for gifted education. The document emphasizes that gifted education should focus less on labels and more on ensuring all students receive an appropriate level of challenge and engagement in their learning.

Checklists are provided to ensure Type III work is high-quality and impactful. Overall, the document promotes helping students pursue meaningful problems through noticing, wondering, and independent investigation.
Splendora - Failure is the ONLY Option
The document discusses failure and the importance of embracing it. It provides several quotes from notable figures emphasizing that failure is an inevitable and necessary part of learning and innovation. Attempting new things carries the risk of failure, but avoiding failure can paradoxically make it more likely by preventing learning and progress. The document encourages an attitude of learning from mistakes and failures rather than seeing them as something to be avoided at all costs.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
