MPS Leadership Team Professional Summer Reading: Mindset by Carol Dweck

Our Middleborough Public Schools Leadership Team will be doing some professional summer reading.  We collectively decided on Carol Dweck's 2006 book Mindset.  Our Teachers21 Instructors began talking to our team about mindsets. We would like to invite you to read Mindset with us.  We are hoping to plan a Professional Educators' Book Club as part of our no-cost/low-cost professional development throughout the 2014-2015 school year.  We hope you will consider adding Mindset to your summer reading list and coming to participate in our Professional Educators' Book Club!  Please contact Liz Haskell ehaskell@middleboro.k12.ma.us if you are interested in participating!
