- Affect (drive, motivation, directing attention)
- Behavior (actions, communication styles and skills)

This is truly one of the best seminars I have attended as a teacher. It is designed for gifted learners, but so perfectly fits the needs of all students in our high poverty, high drug-problem-laden school district. I have already started sharing the infomation with my peers and have made screen shots of some of the ideas that I deeply want to remember. Thank you so much.
