"Research on the brain tells us that the difference between successful and unsuccessful students is less about the content they learn and more about their mindset. A growth mindset is essential but to inspire students to high levels of mathematics learning, students also need a mathematics mindset." -Jo Boaler, Mathematical Mindsets, 2016
If a mathematical mindset is essential to student learning, how do we help students improve their mindset? In this session, teachers, instructional coaches, counselors, and administrators will learn how to create, support, and sustain a mathematical mindset in our classrooms and schools.
