Growth or Fixed Mindset?

Good Shepherd Lutheran School is hosting Mindset Works, adult education workshop, on Tuesday, October 22 from7-8:30 p.m. Mindset Works is based on the award-winning book, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, written by Standford professor, Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D. The premise of Mindset: The New Psychology of Success is the idea that people exercise either a growth or a fixed mindset. Dweck explains that mindsets begin in childhood, extend into adulthood and can drive multiple aspects of our lives, ranging from parenting and relationships, to sports and work.

“We are thrilled to offer Mindset Works to the community,” says Karen Kane, K-5 Director of School. “The program offers valuable insight to a new way of thinking and achieving success, which applies to numerous areas of our life - especially how we interact with our children. Mindset Works affords adults the opportunity to help themselves as well as ensures that they pass the right tools onto their children.”

Facilitating the workshop is Emily Diehl, a member of Carol Dweck’s team, and Curriculum and Professional Learning Specialist for Mindset Works. The program will offer detailed information on growth and fixed mindsets, as well as highlight topics that work in conjunction, such as discussing foods that promote brain development and teaching children calming strategies.

Mindset Works workshop is free of charge and open to the public.  For more information on this free event at Good Shepherd Lutheran School, please contact Gigi Dennis, Director of Admissions & Communications at 415.897.2510 or e-mail gigi.dennis@goodshepherdlutheran.org.
