Growth Mindset with Dr. David Yeager
If you didn't have a chance to be with us for the David Yeager talk, please consider taking a few minutes to check out the video.
Dr. Yeager not only shared interesting results from a number of studies, but also shared practical tips for developing a growth mindset both in ourselves and in our children. One of the most telling things about the research data on the effectiveness of growth mindset strategies is that just a few instances of redirecting student thought to a growth mindset can have a huge effect on that student's subsequent learning. Dr. Staley said, "I personally find that to be a key consideration in our teaching here at Berkeley Hall School."
Located in Los Angeles, CA, Berkeley Hall School is a private, coeducational school for students in preschool through grade 8. Rigorous academics in a supportive atmosphere and grounded character development allow students to become fearless scholars and conscientious citizens - gain a love of learning, leadership with social responsibility, creativity with moral integrity, and self-esteem with compassion for others and the environment.
