- Affect (drive, motivation, directing attention)
- Behavior (actions, communication styles and skills)
- Cognition (metaphysical, infracognitive and metacongitive thinking skills)

This is a great course for teachers of GT students and really all types of students. It is beneficial for students to know how to succeed and prepare them for their future. Being a teacher with GT students, one knows that these students may not have the coping skills for dealing with failure because they may have not failed before. A lot is expected from them externally from teachers and parents and internally from themselves, so they may feel overwhelmed and not know how to self regulate or know how to deal with setbacks. This training is terrific at make one aware of this and how to teach students how to get past these setbacks too. Great training!
