Developing a Growth Mindset for your Classroom

This four-day workshop will focus on the work of Carol Dweck who researched the theory of developing growth mindsets. Participants will receive 10 Professional Development Points (PDPs) for participation in the session and will be eligible for an additional 5 PDPs for work outside of the sessions. In addition to learn about the research associated with growth mindsets in the classroom, participants will learn practical growth mindset strategies and activities to start the school year strong. Participants are also encouraged to join the year-long Growth Mindset PLC beginning in September, although this is not required in order to join this workshop. Participants will receive two texts written by author Mary Cay Ricci about Mindsets in the Classroom.
