Description
The Agile Learner unites three powerful ideas: Growth Mindset, Habits of Mind and Virtuous Practice.
A Growth Mindset is the understanding that we can change our most basic characteristics such as our talents and abilities. But achieving that Growth requires more than simply the right mindset, it requires the right actions.
In The Agile Learner you'll discover how to change your students' mindsets by moving them along the Mindset Continuum. Importantly, you'll learn how to engage students in the processes and behaviours that achieve growth and the development of new talents.
