School Leadership 2.0
A Network Connecting School Leaders From Around The Globe
Angela Duckworth and David Yeager
Angela Duckworth , CASBS Consulting Scholar 2014-15, and David Yeager, CASBS Fellow 2014-15, talk about "The Psychology of Effort" at the 60th Anniversary of CASBS (CASBS Symposium Series) on March 5th 2015. Psychologists David Yeager (University of Texas at Austin) and Angela Duckworth (University of Pennsylvania) analyze the reasons that some students benefit more from schooling than others even when they have the same cognitive abilities. They describe the importance of diligent effort for expertise development and long term goal pursuit, and uncover the surprising psychological barriers that undermine students effort over time; barriers that can be removed.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource
Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and
other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching
practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
