Description

Have you found that many students who seem capable of learning simply do not feel motivated to try their best? Research by Dr. Carol Dweck proves that school success can be dramatically influenced by how students think about their talents and abilities. Are you looking for a way to improve classroom climate and culture? Mindset, The New Psychology of Success is the on-line book study for you. Educators who teach growth mindset create classrooms where students feel motivated to try hard and achieve at higher levels than they have in the past.
