Paul Tough: "How Children Succeed - The Hidden Power of Character" [Special Address]

Paul Tough, author of "How Children Succeed" addresses the challenge for educators to provide their students with a different set of skills, which are necessary to succeed in life. People's thinking about education has often been misguided by emphasising "intelligence" as a prerequisite to success, often measured by passing standardised tests. According to Paul Tough, this is a wrong strategy to best develop skills and abilities of children. Instead, educators should focus on training and improving their students' non-cognitive skills like creativity, persistence, curiosity, conscientiousness, self-control and optism to equip them best for life. In his special address, he reports from a number of case studies and examples how teachers can foster and nurture these essential skills in children.
