#whatisschool will be fast and action packed as we welcome Adam Brown who joins us to discuss how we can better foster a growth mindset for teachers.
It is such an honor to have Adam join me this week. Adam is a principal in Virginia, USA. As a 2016 ASCD Emerging and Influence Leader, he strives to learn from educators around the world in order to make a bigger impact on students.
Growth Mindset is an educational ‘buzzword’ but what does it take for an educator to possess one? This chat will focus on specific practices that educators can undertake in an effort to develop the right type of mindset to impact our students. Join #whatisschool this week to talk about this fun and important topic.
