Description
No matter how hard teachers try to engage learners, some students still do not achieve to their fullest potential. Although numerous strategies exist for teachers to assist students in improving performance, changing mindset has not been fully investigated. This workshop refocuses the issue of underachievement through the lens of Dr. Carol Dweck's theory of fixed versus growth mindset. Changing mindset may prove to be a significant shift in our work with underrepresented students in gifted or advanced classes. Participants learn the background theory of mindset, ideas for changing mindset, and strategies that promote greater student success.
