Weekly RoaR!
Week ending October 31
Mindset
A book that is often referenced by Dr. Vinson in our meetings is Mindset by Carol Dweck. It's a great reference for anyone working in the education field. Her theory addresses the resilience of students based on how information, specifically praise, is presented to them.
We all praise kids on this campus. But how do you praise your students?
Check out this short video that highlights research on praising students. I found it very interesting!
