My site has been using this for 2 years and we even had a chance to meet Carol Dweck a few weeks ago. The company is great to work with and the materials are fantastic for kids. The adults should watch it too so that they can support the messages.<br />

Johnny come lately to the conversation! I've been reading Dweck's work this year and as a parent, I find it amazing. I'm struggling with how to use praise better in the classroom. By the time I get students, they are all about collecting the points they need rather than thinking about how they can grow. I'm intrigued by the <a href="http://www.brainology.us/" target="_blank">Brainology</a> site. Have others tried it?<br />

Do you think this is worthwhile to pay the $99 to try with an 11yo at home? I'm not sure it would be easy to engage my daughter in this after watching their demo. The graphics are not impressive and may instantly put her off I can imagine it might work better in a school environment.

HI!<br />
I ended up begging the Brainology folks and got to pilot the program at my High School this year. We put our "at risk" 9th graders, 10th graders, and a group of advanced EL students (who were not progressing) through it. It has made an amazing difference in the students and the way they behave and work.<br />

HI!<br />
I ended up begging the Brainology folks and got to pilot the program at my High School this year. We put our "at risk" 9th graders, 10th graders, and a group of advanced EL students (who were not progressing) through it. It has made an amazing difference in the students and the way they behave and work.<br />
<br />
All of their teachers are trying to speak to them in a more growth minded way (for examples check out my ning - <a href="http://www.mindsetsineducation.ning.com">www.mindsetsineducation.inig.com</a> ) and try being more growth oriented in their assessments. The PE teachers are talking about brain growth in PE, the math teachers in Alg, and the Geography teachers too!<br />
<br />
We built 5 foot long neurons to talk about the effects of practice, nutrition, and how to strengthen connections. Brainology also has a great study skills component which is heavily brain science centered.<br />
<br />
The kids finished the program in December and we are starting to see some amazing changes in their output since the change of the semester (a fresh start). My Ning is for collaborating, discussing and sharing - join us!<br />
<br />
We also have a professional learning community doing a study of her work (and a book study). Here's another article about…tag:www.classroom20.com,2008-10-02:649749:Comment:1953092008-10-02T16:18:28.458ZConnie Weberhttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/connieweber

I wrote to her and to the site "Brainology" on Friday :-) They wrote me back right away! The "Brainology" site is up and they wrote it for Jr High right now. They will have a more high school version coming out later.<br />
<br />
The site said that we can try out the site as a beta user if we write to them through the website to make the request. I plan to do that tonight. They also sent me a link to a free article that might be useful. I just got back from a wedding, so I haven't read it yet :-)…

At my high school we have been working on a few introductory lessons for students which I can share tomorrow. We want to eventually get to the point where teachers are planning with 'growth questioning' and 'growth feedback' as a part of the pre lesson planning.<br />

Hi Connie,<br />
As you know I am obsessed with Dweck's work. I think I apply it most with my own children. I try to be very specific about my praise and I always talk about strategies that work and strategies that don't.<br />
<br />
In my role as a technology specialist I have had fewer opportunities to implement her work. I have talked to my students about it, but they are high school students and they are very focused on grades. Especially now that I'm working in a selective prep school. Grades are…
Hi Connie,<br />
As you know I am obsessed with Dweck's work. I think I apply it most with my own children. I try to be very specific about my praise and I always talk about strategies that work and strategies that don't.<br />
<br />
In my role as a technology specialist I have had fewer opportunities to implement her work. I have talked to my students about it, but they are high school students and they are very focused on grades. Especially now that I'm working in a selective prep school. Grades are everything here. This will be a tough nut to crack. I've only started here, so I will do my best to chip away.<br />
<br />
Connie - you are so thoughtful. Your school is very lucky to have you. Did you end up seeing Carol at that conference last year? She is speaking at the big independent school conference this year,but I'm not going to be able to attend.<br />

Carol's email is dweck@stanford.edu. I wrote to her a while ago and she never replied (I only tried once and it was summer). With a growth mindset I would have tried again - but I never got to it.<br />
<br />
Please share if she writes you back.<br />
