Book Club: Mindset
Two years ago Justin Staub first read Carol Dweck’s Mindset. Every summer I re-read her work and consider how it will change my professional practice. Because of my growing connectedness and sharing via Twitter, he has been asked to lead a Mindset
book study this summer. So, here are the details he has worked out so far. Please add comments to this post or to the Schoology group if you want to adapt how we run our book study.
Who: Justin Staub will moderate most book study sessions. He has no specific experience except having taught in a growth mindset school for two years and putting Dweck’s ideas into practice. He is privileged to work with colleagues who have all read the book and embody the growth mindset.
What: Twitter chats (#mindset13) and reflective discussion posts via Schoology. Create a free account and join our group discussion page.
When: June 24 – August 12 2013 with weekly Twitter chats on Mondays at 3PM EDT.
Where: On Twitter, using the hashtag #mindset13. Also, collected reflections will be posted on an open Schoology group. Please create a free account and join us there.
See you during our Chapter 1 discussion on Monday, June 24, at 3PM EDT! For more information visit his blog post
