This session shares findings regarding students’ basic psychological needs — autonomy, relatedness, and competence — through the lens of Self-determination Theory. The relationships among basic psychological needs, socioeconomic status, honors participation, and well-being are discussed to uncover ways educators and researchers can be proactive in designing relevant and rigorous coursework while being attentive to the social-emotional needs of gifted learners.

Learning Objectives:

Attendees will know the importance of facilitating student interest to foster motivation in gifted students.
Attendees will be able to understand how students' well-being is fostered as they seek intellectual experiences in which they are interested, feel appropriately challenged, and find their place among peers.
Attendees will be able to address the academic and social-emotional needs of students to better design academic programs.
