Have you heard that Newton Public Schools is asking teachers and staff to explore how encouraging a “growth mindset” can motivate students to learn? Do you know that the research-based growth mindset is useful for all ages and in all settings—school, home, work, athletics? Come to a Parent/Guardian workshop on getting up to speed on the growth mindset.

Newton North School Council and PTSO invite any and all parents/guardians to a fun and engaging evening exploring the growth mindset. As Principal Jen Price shows you how Newton Public Schools faculty are being trained in the use of the growth mindset, you’ll learn:

• Effective ways to give praise
• Useful methods for encouraging children and teens to try new things and accept challenges
• Constructive ways to respond to failure
• Successful strategies for creating a parent-teacher dialogue about students’ development

You will also have a chance to apply the growth mindset during an interactive challenge.

To learn more about the growth mindset, read The Significance of Grit . or view this Ted Talk by Angela Duckworth.
