Growth Mindset Thoughts
The book takes Carol Dweck's, Arthur Costa's, and Daniel Pink's research and turns it into classroom practice. Included are ideas for explicitly teaching five research-driven habits of mind. The book includes instructional language (always good), charts, teaching tips, and more.
You can go to Amazon to read reviews. The idea about joyful, independent growth caught my eye. Melissa and I are going to be reading this book in hopes that it will support our journey into growth mindsets. If you are interested in joining, us, please let me know.
