Others like phonics or probability, not so much! When a concept isn't black and white, it's more difficult to explain it to students. And that's no different with non academic concepts, like Growth Mindset! Have you tried explaining Growth Mindset to students? Maybe you've used some of the catch phrases related to GM such as "Don't give up" or "Mistakes mean progress! " There is a time when a young child is growing up that doing things wrong becomes bad.

The first spark of an idea for the book came to me while I was attending a conference on learning differences at Harvard University. Successful CEOs were sharing their challenging learning journeys, and making it clear that their achievements were made because of their brains, and not in spite of them.
