Read the book that started the movement. It is a reasonably short yet remarkably transformative read. Are you ready to learn how to fulfill your potential?
In Dr. Carol Dweck’s book, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, she outlines her seminal research on how we can learn to fulfill our potential. Reading this book was transformative and challenged me to change how I approach my goals and dreams.
Since reading the book in 2009, I’ve been teaching a growth mindset to educators across the country. In doing so, I found that teachers needed more tools than merely an introduction to the concept, so in 2014 led the design and development of a related online course, which I then converted to a book, “Realizing Potential with Mindset,” in 2016.
Growth Mindset remains one of my most favorite things to teach because with small modifications we can see big changes in ourselves and those around us.
This page is a collection of helpful mindset resources or educators.

Mindsets matter. How we think about our abilities and our students’ affects their success. Small adjustments can lead to significant results. In this webinar:
An asset perspective is where students’ differences are perceived as beneficial to the learning environment, as opposed to a deficit perspective, where differences are perceived as detrimental to the learning environment.
Can you distinguish asset-based thinking from deficit-based thinking? Read the article linked below, and practice reframing how you approach students with an asset-based mindset.

We acknowledge that we gather in Dallas, Texas, on the unceded land of the Kiikaapoi and Witchita Peoples. Colonizers excised these indigenous groups from their traditional land through forced removal. We honor with gratitude the land itself and the people who have stewarded it throughout the generations. We invite you to learn more about land acknowledgments here and search for the traditional stewards of the land where you live and work here.
