Growth Mindset Workshop with Angeliki Pries, Ph.D.

Bret Harte Community Club (BHCC) is hosting a Growth Mindset Workshop with Angeliki Pries, Ph.D.

The leading research on learning and intelligence coming out of Stanford University supports the significance of fostering a Growth Mindset in children. Studies are showing that the key to student’s academic resilience and later achievement is due to their mindset about intelligence, instead of any talents or attributes they were born with.

Join us for an interactive workshop where parents and students will have the opportunity to explore and challenge their current mindsets, then learn and practice techniques to change any Fixed Mindsets into Growth Mindsets.

Bret Harte Community, RESERVE your FREE tickets NOW! Neighboring middle and high school community are welcome to reserve tickets as well but a small $5/person entry fee will be charged at the door. BHCC is providing a FREE slice of pizza and drink to attendees. Note: If you are a elementary school parent of a 4th or 5th grader, then you may find this workshop helpful as a parent ahead of your child moving into middle school but the content is more geared for middle school and high school students.

Angeliki Pries, Ph.D., is a Clinical Psychologist whose focus is to improve the school climate by fostering social connection, empowering students to stand up for the rights of others, and promoting the practice of Growth Mindset in the learning environment. She has been a lead for the YMCA’s Project Cornerstone since 2016, a research-based program that fosters the development of social emotional competence in youth.

Dr. Pries is the co-author of the research paper: Type of continuing bonds expression and its comforting versus distressing nature: implications for adjustment among bereaved mothers (2013).
