“We want our students to take on challenges with zeal,” write Kristi Mraz and Christine Hertz, coauthors of A Mindset for Learning. “We want our students to see themselves not as static test scores but as agents of change.”
A Mindset for Learning: Teaching the Traits of Joyful, Independent Growth draws on the work of Carol Dweck, Daniel Pink, Art Costa, and others, and it pairs research—psychological, neurological, and pedagogical—with practical classroom help, including instructional language, charts and visuals, teaching tips, and classroom vignettes.
