Based on the best-selling book, Awakening Genius in the Classroom, this video features author and researcher Dr. Thomas Armstrong as he examines the history and meaning of the term “genius”. With over thirty years of teaching experience, ranging from the primary level to the doctoral, Dr. Armstrong debunks the narrow but widely-held belief that genius is solely a function of performing well above-average in tasks that require reading, arithmetic and other academic skills. In fact, there is genius to be found in every child, and Dr. Armstrong shares with viewers the results of his exhaustive research as he details ways for educators and parents to discover and unlock their children’s potential.
