Registration is full.
This workshop was rescheduled from February 2019 due to weather conditions. Any previous registrations will be transferred to the class. There are still a few open slots for registrations.
This workshop is geared towards a parent, administrator, teacher, guidance counselor, school social worker, school psychologist or any individual who desires to foster and nurture outstanding accomplishments in students or loved ones. This workshop addresses the following questions that explore our mindset in order to challenge how we influence and motivate others to succeed. Does talent matter more than effort? Is natural ability and skill more essential than practice? Does intelligence ultimately determine one’s success in life? How important is Grit in determining success? How Gritty are you? Does passion determine overall success? What is a “fixed mindset” and how does it impact a student? What cultivates a “growth mindset” and how does that support unleashing one’s full potential? If your interest is peaked or perhaps you are curious to learn more, then this workshop is perfect for you!
