Growth Mindset 1.0 & 2.0  - Dates TBD

Is Growth Mindset a concept that is rather new to you? If so, our Growth Mindset 1.0 option is just right for you! Mindset is a theory developed by Carol Dweck, Ph.D. regarding the psychology of success. Dweck makes the case that people with a GROWTH vs. FIXED mindset are much more apt to fulfill their potential, persevere when faced with adversity, and take on more challenging tasks. We'll examine the theory and use it as a framework to develop teaching materials, routines, and practices that support the psychology of success for immediate implementation into your classroom, team, school, and/or home. All Mindset 1.0 participants will create a Mindset Action Plan with classroom lessons and materials to use RIGHT NOW!  

Are you a veteran in regard to the concept of Mindset? Then come to our Growth Mindset 2.0 Leadership Training. You and a small group of other veterans will learn how to elevate Growth Mindset at your school or within your district. You will develop coaching strategies, create a Growth Mindset professional development plan and training materials, and/or learn how to lead a parent/community mindset program. 

​Bring a team and develop a school/program-wide mindset plan! [team discounts available].
