Rezensionen

"Mary Cay Ricci provides a thorough foundation in what growth mindset is, why it matters, and just as importantly, how to foster it in key stakeholders, namely teachers, students, and parents. Ricci advocates teaching parents about the brain research as well as giving them tools for reflecting on the kinds of praise they use with their children. She provides suggestions and resources for explaining the brain research and how the brain works. She offers not a single lesson but a series of experiences and tools for walking students along the path of understanding what fixed and growth mindsets are, and how they affect the way we perceive effort, intelligence, and success. Administrators or coaches will also find this book helpful for the concrete plan it provides for professional development."

"Mindsets in the Classroom is filled with actionable ideas to improve school culture. It builds nicely on Dweck's original book (which itself is surprisingly easy to read) by specifically addressing the three essential audiences: teachers, parents, and students. As a teacher who works with gifted students, you'll find clear tasks to integrate into your classroom as well activities for staff meetings."

Ian Byrd, Byrdseed.com, 3/1/14

"With a well-integrated emphasis on critical thinking skills, the chapters in this title offer practical tips founded in Ricci's direct experience and research from various sources (references are included) to positively impact learning."
