Smart Boys by Dr. Sanford J. Cohn
Parents of Gifted Middle School Children Seminar Series
Jan. 12, 6-7:30 p.m.
Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College
CLCC 299, ASU West campus
Smart boys are often ignored, as they are already doing above
average work. In the absence of appropriate learning opportunities,
these boys find avenues for learning outside of school; most
often, they retreat to their computers. In this session, Dr. Cohn describes some of the
problems gifted boys face in school and how we might improve
schooling for them.
Sanford J. Cohn, Ph.D., is a professor in ASU’s Mary Lou Fulton
Teachers College. He has co-authored with Barbara A. Kerr,
“Smart Boys: Talent, Manhood, and the Search for Meaning,” coedited
with William C. George and Julian C. Stanley, “Educating
the Gifted: Acceleration and Enrichment,” and written numerous
publications that provide understanding of the needs of intellectual
youths. Dr. Cohn is a psychologist in Arizona with a clinical
practice devoted to highly able youths and their families.
