Mindsets in the Classroom: Building a Culture of Success and Student Achievement in Schools Description
Review
Like some of my favorite professional books, this one has a conversational tone. It is no hit and run introduction to growth mindset, either. Mary Cay Ricci provides a thorough foundation in what growth mindset is, why it matters, and just as importantly, how to foster it in key stakeholders, namely teachers, students, and parents.
Ricci advocates teaching parents about the brain research as well as giving them tools for reflecting on the kinds of praise they use with their children. She provides suggestions and resources for explaining the brain research and how the brain works. She offers not a single lesson but a series of experiences and tools for walking students along the path of understanding what fixed and growth mindsets are, and how they affect the way we perceive effort, intelligence and success. Administrators or coaches will also find this book helpful for the concrete plan it provides for professional development.
Mindsets in the Classroom came along just when I needed it. If you are a parent, teacher, or administrator who would like to understand growth mindset more fully, or who wants to bring others along toward growing their own growth mindsets, this 150-page resource might be just what you're looking for. --Katie Gordon, MiddleWeb
