In The Growth Mindset Coach, we produced a chapter-a-month guidebook for cultivating growth mindsets in your classroom. In The Growth Mindset Playbook, we dug deeper into how classrooms and schools can empower students and increase achievement through building growth mindsets. In this new addition to our Growth Mindset series, we are expanding these ideas by offering turnkey lessons (ranging from 15 minutes to an hour) to use in your classroom. We’ll revisit the same subject matter from our previous books and offer 45 valuable, ready-to-teach lessons and over 50 reproducible resources that will help you put the power of growth mindset to work for you and your students.
Mindset is one of those rare books that can help you make positive changes in your life and at the same time see the world in a new way. A leading expert in motivation and personality psychology, Carol Dweck has discovered in more than twenty years of research that our mindset is not a minor personality quirk: it creates our whole mental world. It explains how we become optimistic or pessimistic. It shapes our goals, our attitude toward work and relationships, and how we raise our kids, ultimately predicting whether or not we will fulfill our potential.
Here is a book with how-to techniques, positive philosophy, an up-lifting message, and practical too! It talks about human nature, as well as business and even spirituality. It is like the best of every business and self-help book ever seen while still being entirely fresh, new, inspiring and practical. But there s also something else wonderful about this book. It s been blessed. A famous spiritual teacher, Sri Sathya Sai Baba, signed the front of it. You ll see his digitized signature in the book. In a sense, he infused the book with his own magical power.
