Mindset Scholars Angela Duckworth, Ron Ferguson, and Mary Murphy shared insights about grit, child development, and college persistence with journalists at EWA’s 69th National Seminar in Boston.
The Student Experience Research Network will launch a new interdisciplinary research initiative this fall to explore how learning environments can be designed to make the experience of school psychologically safe, engaging, and personally meaningful for all students.
Find out more about the talks and presentations the Mindset Scholars gave on their current work at the American Education Research Association conference.
The new scholars bring deep expertise on the teaching profession, organizational resources in schools, post-secondary access, mindset-related curricula, educational policy, and the measurement of non-cognitive competencies.
