Carol Dweck's concept of fixed and growth mindsets has challenged lots of teachers as they encourage children to adopt an attitude of being willing to give things a try. 

This is an easy read packed with good ideas about ways to talk with children. This is the companion book to Faber and Mazlish's first book, How to talk so kids will listen and listen so kids will talk. If you have read that then this one covers much of the same ground but is aimed at teachers.

Education's first priority should be to create enthusiastic learners who can thrive in a complicated and dynamic world. 

Lost at school presents Ross Greene's Collaborative and Proactive Solutions approach to challenging behaviour. This is a must read for teachers who want help with children's behaviour.

Our lives, our cultures, are composed of many overlapping stories. Novelist Chimamanda Adichie tells the story of how she found her authentic cultural voice -- and warns that if we hear only a single story about another person or country, we risk a critical misunderstanding.

How powerful would our world be if we had kids who were not afraid to take risks, who were not afraid to think, and who had a champion? Every child deserves a champion, an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection, and insists that they become the best that they can possibly be.

What we need in education is a much better understanding of students and learning from a motivational perspective, from a psychological perspective. In education, the one thing we know how to measure best is IQ. But what if doing well in school and in life depends on much more than your ability to learn quickly and easily?

Dr Ann Milne speaks at CORE Education's uLearn17 conference in Hamilton. She asks us to think about what community and collaboration look like for the learners our system marginalises and minoritises. When we talk about educational success “as Māori”, what does this actually mean and how do our institutionalised practices and solutions actually work against this goal? In the pressure we face to collaborate, who is our community and how does our practice reflect their reality?

From Unleashing Personal Potential this video talks about one social skill that we can teach children that will help strengthen relationships.
