Description: A growth mindset is the belief that intelligence can be developed with effort.

Course participants will review the research about the brain and how the brain, like a muscle, changes and grows in response to challenge. Throughout the course we will explore how we, as educators, can praise students for effort and process rather than praising them for being "smart." Participants will be reading and discussing Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck and Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance by Angela Duckworth, so you will need to obtain these books for the course. Participants will take with them practical strategies to implement whether they are teachers, counselors, speech therapists, nurses, parents, or simply anyone who wants to learn more about fostering a growth mindset in themselves or others.
