Resources from Chapters 4 & 5 and Chapters 6 & 7 discussion questions

Sorry for getting this posted so late.  This "short" week really got away from me.

Below are links to some of the resources discussed at out 11/6 session.

For our Tuesday 11/18 session we will discuss the questions below. If you are unable to attend please complete the Google Discussion Form Here.


  1. How might one's mindset affect his or her relationships?
  2. What is the relationship between mindset and bullying behavior?
  3. How might a growth mindset classroom sound different from a fixed one? 
  4. What did you come away in these readings that can have a positive impact on your life? Why?


I have added some additional resources that we will discuss during our sesssion that I believe help tie Chapter 6 to education:

1.  This is a clip explaining one of the studies Carol Dweck and her collaborators conducted to learn about the effects of mindset on bullying.
