Welcome Friends!
Once again I'm linking up with the Hello Sunshine teacher's blog for their book study on Mary Cay Ricci's Mindsets in the Classroom. Her book is a wonderful read with each chapter guiding anyone who reads it to a growth mindset school culture. Chapter 6 helps inform of the messages to parents and even how parents can communicate with teachers!
Here is a list of essential concepts to share with parents:
1. Information on growth and fixed mindsets
2. Encouraging resilience
3. Basic brain operations
4. Ways to praise their children.
Way to share essential concepts:
1. School website
2. School social network sites
3. Newsletter blurbs
4. Principal coffee hours
5. Parent information evening
Suggestions for building resilience:
1. Use growth mindset praise
2. Model flexibility
3. Adopt a "glass half-full mentality in the home
4. Help children find their own niche
