On the last Professional Day Mrs. Soper had the pleasure of hearing one of her favourite educators speak, Carol Dweck. She is the author of Mindset. It is a very interesting book, and while not ground breaking, it is definitely pushing education in a new direction. She thought she would share a little video about Dweck's newest data on praise. We are huge fans of praise! It builds confidence and creates a safe environment for kids to try new things. We always try to make praise specific, but Carol's research goes a step further. What we should celebrate is the effort itself and not the success...
