Building Resiliency and Perseverance in the Growth Mindset Classroom

Mary Cay Ricci

Ballroom East

How can we deliberately cultivate resiliency, perseverance and grit in our students? In this interactive session participants will discuss ways to build these essential non-cognitive skills in our classrooms, schools and districts. Participants will leave with a deep understanding as to why we must nurture these critical skills, ideas for developing them and titles of children’s books that contribute to the discussion. Participants will also have an opportunity to share successful practices that are already happening in their school/district.
