Mindset by Carol S. Dweck Pdf

From the renowned psychologist who introduced the world to “growth mindset” comes this updated edition of the million-copy bestseller—featuring transformative insights into redefining success, building lifelong resilience, and supercharging self-improvement. “Through clever research studies and engaging writing, Dweck illuminates how our beliefs about our capabilities exert tremendous influence on how we learn and which paths we take in life.”—Bill Gates, GatesNotes “It’s not always the people who start out the smartest who end up the smartest.” After decades of research, world-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., discovered a simple but groundbreaking idea: the power of mindset. In this brilliant book, she shows how success in school, work, sports, the arts, and almost every area of human endeavor can be dramatically influenced by how we think about our talents and abilities. People with a fixed mindset—those who believe that abilities are fixed—are less likely to flourish than those with a growth mindset—those who believe that abilities can be developed. Mindset reveals how great parents, teachers, managers, and athletes can put this idea to use to foster outstanding accomplishment. In this edition, Dweck offers new insights into her now famous and broadly embraced concept. She introduces a phenomenon she calls false growth mindset and guides people toward adopting a deeper, truer growth mindset. She also expands the mindset concept beyond the individual, applying it to the cultures of groups and organizations. With the right mindset, you can motivate those you lead, teach, and love—to transform their lives and your own.

Academic Advising in the Community College by Terry U. O'Banion Pdf

Academic advising is the second most important function in the community college. If it is not conducted with the utmost efficiency and effectiveness, the most important function in the college—instruction—will fail to achieve its purpose of ensuring that students succeed in navigating the curriculum to completion. The purpose of academic advising is to help students select a program of study to meet their life and vocational goals. As such, academic advising is a central and important activity in the process of education. Academic advising occurs at least once each term for every student in the college; few student support functions occur as often or affect so many students. But while there is general agreement concerning the importance of academic advising for the efficient functioning of the institution and the effective functioning of the student, there is little agreement regarding the nature of academic advising and who should perform the function. In this seminal work on academic advising, the authors of three overarching chapters address the key issues and challenges of academic advising followed by the authors of four of the most innovative and successful programs of academic advising in the nation.

College Now! What Needs to be Done to Give Urban Students a Real Path to Success by Scott Mendelsberg Pdf

This remarkable, first-hand account reveals the impediments and challenges to educating inner-city secondary students when so much is arrayed against them and how believing in all kids helped save a school and change education in the state of Colorado. In 2 years, Principal Scott Mendelsberg took his school from a 17% to a 73% college matriculation rate. He didn’t get new teachers, a new building, different kids, or a new curriculum. He just made sure students realized that college was an option for them. Advance Praise for College Now! “Through funny, sad, and triumphant stories, Mendelsberg lays out the power of high expectations; the need to support and hold educators accountable; and the strategies for creating a learning environment that embraces rigor and engagement. Additionally, he makes the case for competency-based learning with digital resources, self-paced learning, and performance gateways where students demonstrate readiness.” —From the Foreword by Tom Vander Ark, CEO of Getting Smart “School reform, up close and personal from the desk of a principal. Lively. Insightful. Honest.” —Brad Jupp, Senior Program Advisor, United States Department of Education “If you’re suffering a bit from reform fatigue and wondering whether anything works in really changing schools, you must absolutely read this book because it will give you renewed hope.” —David Longanecker, executive director, Western Interstate Commission on Higher Education, and former Assistant Secretary of Education under President Clinton "Scott is truly a ‘principal's principal.’ His experience in the urban high school setting provides new principals with a guide for exploring their own thinking about how to lead their schools in increasing studentachievement.” —Lynn Fair, principal, Aurora Central High School, Aurora, CO “Brilliant! With the skill of a master storyteller, Scott Mendelsberg has written a primer for all school administrators. His grasp of leadership principles is keen and his insights right on the mark, making College Now! a must-read for educators.” —Mike Miles, superintendent, Dallas Independent School District
