Mindshifting is learning how to tap into the resourcefulness of our own minds and inspire resourcefulness in others. It creates a much more collaborative framework for individuals and organizations. 

Isn’t that what we want for students? And for ourselves?

When we become aware of, and counteract, the psychological biases and cognitive distortions that govern our thoughts, we are able to make better decisions that lead to better results. Social emotional learning, diversity and inclusion, the growth mindset, critical thinking, perseverance, innovation, problem solving, and emotional intelligence are all woven into strategies on how to overcome our natural instincts when they lead us astray, how to make sense of the world around us, and how to prepare for long term success.

This series of 6 PD sessions is designed to give you both a framework and skills, for yourself and for those you teach or coach, to engage with each other and the world, to make an impact, to self-regulate, to dramatically reduce “drama”, and to live rewarding lives.

This course focuses on the mind and brain, ours and those of the people we interact with. Mindshifting pulls together the habits of mind from the following practices:

1. social emotional intelligence

2. diversity and inclusion

3. the growth mindset
