Ideas covered in Opening Session: “Staying Relevant While Remaining Resilient”<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Growth Mindset: Carol Dweck’s TED Talk<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I was on a Delta flight in 2015 when I watched this TED Talk by Carol Dweck, and it truly changed the trajectory of my life. It\u2019s influenced my career (and inspired me to write Mindset Matters<\/em>), the way I teach (always looking for ways to weave in a growth mindset), and even how I parent. It\u2019s worth your 10 minutes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Learning Space <\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Becky has a great way of explaining that they place we we all get in, when we aren’t there YET is called the Learning Space. I’ve noticed that some kids and adults lack the tolerance of staying in this comfortable zone for very long. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Staying Current on Slang with Mr. Lindsay<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Lindsay is a middle school special education teacher who is on all the socials teaching us about middle school slang that he hears each day. He’s pretty funny and very informative!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make Sure Students Know How To See School Counselor <\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n
