Carol Dweck: How to Help Every Child Fulfill Their Potential
Full webcast from the RSA event on Monday 8 July 6pm BST. An edited HD video of the event will be available in the near future.
At the event, one of the world's leading psychologists, Professor Carol Dweck visited the RSA to discuss how students' mindsets shape their motivation and learning.
She discussed new research showing a) how parents' and teachers' praise can create fixed mindsets and undermine children's motivation, b) how fixed-mindset school environments can decrease the representation of women and minorities, and c) how teaching students a growth mindset increases their success in school.

Nice to hear more support for Alfie Kohn's long held premise that rewards can be just as imprisoning as punishment! see "Punished by Rewards", Alfie Kohn. For more theorist minded educators, consider how rewards can create a panopticon as discussed by Jeremy Bentham originally and later expanded upon by Michel Foucault.

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.
