Brief Statement & Additional Information:

It is my passion to help teachers and schools - like you! - to learn to value the teaching of 'Growth Mindset' and 'Learning How to Learn' as much as I do. I believe that helping Aussie kids to achieve their full learning potential is pretty exciting stuff, and we want to help you turn your classroom or school into a place where your students can achieve anything they set their minds to. How many of you have asked your students what a good learner is? You may be shocked that their usual answer is a student who behaves in class, puts their hands up, listens to the teacher. Unless they are explicitly taught how to be a good learner, we are not teaching them effectively.

 

I often write blogs or invite gurus to write guest blogs for me, mostly about mindset. If you are interested, here are some links to my Facebook and Twitter pages:
