Using Neuroscience to Help Increase Growth Mindset and Grit
Presenter:
Dr. Debbie Sacks,
Collaborative Learning Solutions
The more we understand how our brain works, the more we can use it to strengthen our mind, body, and spirit. Participants will learn about the neuroscience that anchors the key components of Social Emotional Learning: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, positive relationships, and decision making. They will learn about the research on Mindset-- as a critical component impacting their teaching as well as an essential tool in their work with students. Participants will engage in lessons that they can replicate in the classroom. We will examine the research on neuroplasticity, growth mindset and grit and how shifting perspectives of both staff and students will turn frustration, learned helplessness, and apathy into engagement, perseverance and hope.
