Nurturing Persistence: 

Encourage a "Growth Mindset"   

     


CGCC Parenting Gifted Seminar 

meeting space is hosted by
A.N Prizker School 
2009 W. Schiller Street, 
Chicago, IL 60622

Registration Required!

Utilizing research done by Carol Dweck in her book Mindset, we will discuss the benefits of a “growth mindset” over a “fixed mindset.” We'll give practical strategies for how you can encourage your children to pursue challenges and view mistakes as opportunities for growth. This presentation is appropriate for parents and teachers of students from preschool to adulthood.
 

Alyssa Coburn is an experienced teacher and tutor with a master’s degree in education and years of experience in the classroom. Prior to working for Nurturing Wisdom, she taught in an innovative high school in Sydney, Australia that specialized in integrated and project-based learning. Alyssa stepped into the role of Director of Learning and Development after working first as Tutoring Director, and then as a Curriculum Director. As part of Nurturing Wisdom's management team, Alyssa oversees company growth and culture, as well as curriculum, coaching, recruiting, tutoring plans, and test grading. She also continues to tutor a variety of subjects, including executive functioning, test prep, reading, math, and writing.


We hope you can join us! 

A special thank you to the A.N. Pritzker School for allowing us to use their library for this discussion series. 

The school is at the SW corner of Damen and Schiller, just a block and a half south of the Damen Blue Line stop. Street parking is available in the neighborhood and in the lot behind the school on Evergreen, one block south of the school. (Evergreen is one way East.)  Enter the school on the Schiller side via the main doors.  Push the "door bell" to be buzzed in or call the number posted above the door and someone will let you in.  The library is on the 2nd floor of the school, accessed by stairs.  There is no elevator.
