This year we will again follow the themes of The Growth Mindset Coach - September's theme is EVERYONE CAN LEARN.  Here are a couple of links from the first chapter to help you teach your students about Growth Mindset and convince them that each one of them can learn if they try hard enough; and that you will teach them how.

HVE A GREAT B2S EVENT; SEE YOU IN THE CAFETERIA AT 5:40

by Harry and Rosemary Wong

This book is a timeless treasure; published in 1988, the Wongs wrote this about educational expectations.
"Positive expectations, sometimes called high expectations, should not be confused with high standards.  Having positive expectations simply means that the teacher believes in the learner and that the learner can learn.
The belief in positive expectations is based on the research that whatever the teacher expects from the learner is what the learner will produce."
B2S night is the perfect time for you to convey your positive expectations and invite parents to become your partners, and have positive expectations for their children too.
