Description
Is intelligence completely natural or developed by effort? Are you in a fixed or growth mindset? How can we help our students see it’s about learning new things, not looking good with high grades? All audiences are invited to find out how an elementary school utilized Carol Dweck's Mindset in an online book study to change teacher, staff, and student mindsets about intelligence and learning. Students of all races, ethnicities, incomes, and backgrounds can benefit from educators who encourage love of learning and development of intelligence and talent through old-fashioned hard work and effort.
