Lead Speaker:
Jo Boaler


Students’ beliefs about mindset (as described in Carol Dweck's work) are hugely significant for mathematics learning and for the pursuit of equity and social justice. In this presentation, I will show the ways mathematics teachers, of any grade level, can teach for a growth mindset, including attention to pedagogical structures, tasks, assessment, grouping, and praise.
