"Great book, great choice for structured reading. Anyone can benefit from reading this book. It contains countless practical ideas such as process praise instead of result praise that can change the way people around you react to you and your requests."

"This is a great book for breaking down "Mindset" for a classroom or school. It sets manageable goals for each month of the year. It has great ideas for how to implement with students grit & the "growth mindset". Highly recommend!"

"In the 70"s, when I went to college to become a teacher, we learned about the Fixed Mindset. No one mentioned the Growth Mindset until 2006, thanks to Carol Dweck, a Professor of Psychology at Stanford University. Annie Brock and Heather Hundley have penned a fantastic manual entitled The Growth Mindset Coach (a teacher's month-to-month handbook for empowering students to achieve). The book is well-organized with a detailed introduction explaining the different mindsets and how to use the book to your best advantage. The chapters, 1-12, are aligned with the months of the year based on a standard teaching schedule assuming August (chapter one) is used for teaching preparation and July (chapter 12) should be used by the dedicated teacher for self-growth or what they refer to as your learning mode.

Annie and Heather have put a lot of hard work into their manual to help teachers learn and teach the Growth Mindset to their students. Each chapter is packed with lesson plans, charts, questions, resources, and more. Annie and Heather address important issues like the Growth Oriented Classroom layout, Parental involvement, Relationships between students, parents and teachers, etc. There is even a section that addresses the importance of saying goodbye to your students in a positive manner at the end of the school year.

While the book is geared for teachers, it is also useful for parents, counselors, college professors, the clergy and many other individuals in any helping field. The Growth Mindset Coach is an invaluable tool for the modern teacher concerned about the well-being and growth of his or her students. Purchase a copy today, may your students soar tomorrow. The sky is the limit with the Growth Mindset Coach at hand."
