Growth vs Fixed Mindset

What do you have a fixed mindset about? How can you promote a growth mindset in yourself and others?

Here's a link to the Ted Talk by Eduardo Briceno and the Stanford Talk by Carol Dwek, on "Developing a Growth Mindset" that we watched in class today. You might want to watch them again without classroom distractions.

On another note, Professor Pearl Bauer is having Jiwon Chung (Theatre of the Oppressed) work with her FYE section on Wednesday, September 18, 3:30-6. She has invited us to join them and needs a headcount of those interested so that she can book the right size space. Please let me know ASAP if you'd like to go.

Have an excellent long weekend!

Before Wednesday's class, please read the article, "How Not to Talk to Your Kids." Use the methods described in class and in the Harvard Reading Strategies to purposefully annotate it, and then use your annotations to write a one-page summary/response to the article. Both your annotated copy of the article and your response will be due in class on Wednesday. More help and information about purposeful annotation (close reading) can be found on-line here.
