Last night at our PTO meeting, I shared some information
about a course through Stanford and the research work of Jo Boaler and Carol
Dweck with developing a growth Mindset.
Jo Boaler is a professor of mathematics at Stanford and Carol Dwek is also from
Stanford in their Dept. of Psychology. Her book called Mindset is very
good and is not solely for those in education. Its implications and ideas
provide insight into many areas of anyone’s life; personal and
professional. I have included links to their staff pages at Stanford for
your further review if you would like. As a parent, if you would like a
great book to read this summer, it is Mindset.
In my opinion, every parent should read this book and it would be a great one
to read as a book study.
The “free” course of which I spoke is number 1 below.
It is for “students” but you’ll notice that her suggestions for parents if you
have a someone under the age of 13.
Another course by Jo I have also listed as number 2
below. It costs 125. It also sounds great if you are interested.
Enjoy and let me know if you have questions.
