Welcome to the 2017 PHES Book Study!

Thank you for joining this year's book study and taking the time to invest in yourself -- and in the process investing in our students!  This year we are discussing Carol Dweck's book over the power of mindset. She dives into how a fixed or growth-mindset has a significant impact on a student's (or teacher's) ability to learn new skills and improve in various areas of our life.  Our awareness of this variable and how we cultivate our mindset can literally change the way we look at ourselves, our students, and the world.

We will begin our book study the week of January 30th, completing one chapter a week and participating in an online discussion hosted on this website.  All discussions will take place by responding to the weekly prompt through the comments area at the bottom of that week's posting.  Each participant will respond to the prompt and add two unique and insightful comments to one of our peers responses.  All comments will be due at the end of each week on Sunday night.

Below is a brief video with an overview of some of the ideas discussed in the book.
