NCCAT Online offers NC educators a place to come and share ideas while reading a book together to help us learn and grow in our personal and professional lives. Our fourth book will be Dr. Carol S. Dweck s Mindset. Dweck, a psychologist at Stanford University, discovered with decades of research the power of our mindset. Dweck explains that it is not just our abilities and talents that bring about success, but whether we approach our goals with a fixed or growth mindset. With the right mindset, we can motivate our children and help them improve in school and reach their own goals, personal or professional.
When: October 1-December 10, 2021
