A group of us are working toward bringing ideas from Carol Dweck and Alfie Kohn to public education with a group of colleugues. We are very energized by this topic and are constantly looking for ways to teach students about the brain at all grade levels (K-12 - although our realm is 9-12). Teaching students how to learn is the education of the future in a world where "they say" that in 5 years businesses will rely on technology not even invented yet. If you have a passion for this work and would like to share and collaborate please comment!

Hi Emily!

Hope you're enjoying the winter break. I was wondering if you, your educator contacts or students would be interested in participating in a nationwide Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. We'd really like to get more students involved from California!

You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!
