In this instant New York Times bestseller, pioneering psychologist Angela Duckworth shows anyone striving to succeed-be it parents, students, educators, athletes, or business people-that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent but a special blend of passion and persistence she calls "grit.”

Drawing on her own powerful story as the daughter of a scientist who frequently noted her lack of "genius,” Duckworth, now a celebrated researcher and professor, describes her early eye-opening stints in teaching, business consulting, and neuroscience, which led to the hypothesis that what really drives success is not "genius” but a unique combination of passion and long-term perseverance.

Among Grit's most valuable insights:

*Why any effort you make ultimately counts twice toward your goal

*How grit can be learned, regardless of I.Q. or circumstances

*How lifelong interest is triggered

*How much of optimal practice is suffering and how much ecstasy

*Which is better for your child-a warm embrace or high standards

*The magic of the Hard Thing Rule

Winningly personal, insightful, and even life-changing, Grit is a book about what goes through your head when you fall down, and how that-not talent or luck-makes all the difference.

Participants will need their own copy of the book Grit by Angela Duckworth.

Dates listed indicate the start and end dates of the book study.

Get ready to catapult into fun at this professional development session!

The Official Statapult® Catapult is great for applying statistical methods to real problems. It also helps make the learning experience interactive and fun with a hands-on experience for students!

What exactly is a Statapult®?

The Statapult® is a wooden "catapult” device that is used to launch a small ball. There are many things that can be adjusted on the Statapult® (pull back angle, cup position, rubber band attachment, front pin location, stop angle, ball type) which all have some effect on the launch distance. Thus, the Statapult® provides a "process” which can be studied and used to quickly obtain data for analysis and knowledge gain.

It can be used to explore:

-collection of real-time data for basic statistical concepts & analysis

-statistical process control

-cause and effect

-variance reduction

-hypothesis testing

-multiple regression modeling

-model and predict performance, optimize for various objectives (hitting a target distance, etc.), & validate the results

-experimental & robust design

-control charts

-problem-solving in a team environment

Teachers will participate in hands-on activities with the Statapults®. They will have time to plan for classroom integration and collaborate with other participants.

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month in May, the Youth Development Department at OCM BOCES will be holding a showing of the documentary: Hiding in Plain Sight: Youth Mental Illness features first-person accounts from more than 20 young people, ranging in age from 11 to 27, who live with mental health conditions, as well as parents, teachers, friends, healthcare providers in their lives, and independent mental health experts. HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT gives educators an opportunity to consider the importance of destigmatizing youth mental illness. Understanding the complexities of this topic and promoting dialogue to help educators engage students. We will be presenting this documentary in two parts: once before lunch and once after. After each section we will have intentional time to debrief. We will be ending our day with providing some resources and suggestions as to how you can bring this documentary to your school to present to students, staff and/or the community. This topic might be challenging for many, because we ourselves may have had difficult experiences. We also may know people, who we care about, who have been affected negatively by mental health concerns and trauma. We want to invite people to take care of themselves in whatever way is best for them. If people need to get up, take a break, feel free to do so. Self care is an important aspect of trauma informed care.
