Book excerpt: The Resilient Learner: Thriving and Succeeding in College is a groundbreaking book that defines a new framework to help students improve psychological and emotional resilience, enhance learning and academic performance, and improve quality of life to increase the likelihood of success in all areas of academic, emotional, and social life. This book is about coaching students in academic resiliency, which is the capacity to overcome, adapt, and learn from setbacks, failures, and adversity. It prepares students psychologically and emotionally for the demands they will face in school and in their personal lives (including mental and emotional problems) to succeed academically. Dr. Aubrey postulates six areas of academic resiliency to help students develop a fortitude for success. Students will develop positive habits of mind such as flexible thinking, optimism, growth mindset, and grit (perseverance and passion). These skills include the ability to self-regulate the body's defense systems, intense emotions, thoughts, and self-defeating behaviors that throw students off course and derail their success. Students will also learn the skilled ability to control impulses through the practice of mindfulness to enhance academic performance. They will learn to use the skills of causal analysis and critical thinking to identify the true cause of problems and avoid repeating the same mistakes.Academic resiliency improves the quality of learning by supporting an enhanced culture of wellness and by fostering skills needed to shift into a physiological state of safety, support, and connection to promote optimal learning in the classroom. This proactive educational training approach in resiliency can contribute to increased persistence, perseverance, and completion rates. Thus, you're invited on a journey to a future where you will thrive and flourish as a student. Get ready to take your life from one of stress to one of greater success.

Download or read book Teaching with Poverty in Mind written by Eric Jensen and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2010-06-16 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Teaching with Poverty in Mind: What Being Poor Does to Kids' Brains and What Schools Can Do About It, veteran educator and brain expert Eric Jensen takes an unflinching look at how poverty hurts children, families, and communities across the United States and demonstrates how schools can improve the academic achievement and life readiness of economically disadvantaged students. Jensen argues that although chronic exposure to poverty can result in detrimental changes to the brain, the brain's very ability to adapt from experience means that poor children can also experience emotional, social, and academic success. A brain that is susceptible to adverse environmental effects is equally susceptible to the positive effects of rich, balanced learning environments and caring relationships that build students' resilience, self-esteem, and character. Drawing from research, experience, and real school success stories, Teaching with Poverty in Mind reveals * What poverty is and how it affects students in school; * What drives change both at the macro level (within schools and districts) and at the micro level (inside a student's brain); * Effective strategies from those who have succeeded and ways to replicate those best practices at your own school; and * How to engage the resources necessary to make change happen. Too often, we talk about change while maintaining a culture of excuses. We can do better. Although no magic bullet can offset the grave challenges faced daily by disadvantaged children, this timely resource shines a spotlight on what matters most, providing an inspiring and practical guide for enriching the minds and lives of all your students.

Download or read book Mindset written by Carol S. Dweck and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2007-12-26 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the renowned psychologist who introduced the world to “growth mindset” comes this updated edition of the million-copy bestseller—featuring transformative insights into redefining success, building lifelong resilience, and supercharging self-improvement. “Through clever research studies and engaging writing, Dweck illuminates how our beliefs about our capabilities exert tremendous influence on how we learn and which paths we take in life.”—Bill Gates, GatesNotes “It’s not always the people who start out the smartest who end up the smartest.” After decades of research, world-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., discovered a simple but groundbreaking idea: the power of mindset. In this brilliant book, she shows how success in school, work, sports, the arts, and almost every area of human endeavor can be dramatically influenced by how we think about our talents and abilities. People with a fixed mindset—those who believe that abilities are fixed—are less likely to flourish than those with a growth mindset—those who believe that abilities can be developed. Mindset reveals how great parents, teachers, managers, and athletes can put this idea to use to foster outstanding accomplishment. In this edition, Dweck offers new insights into her now famous and broadly embraced concept. She introduces a phenomenon she calls false growth mindset and guides people toward adopting a deeper, truer growth mindset. She also expands the mindset concept beyond the individual, applying it to the cultures of groups and organizations. With the right mindset, you can motivate those you lead, teach, and love—to transform their lives and your own.
