When: February 25, 2020, 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Where: HE 1203

Presenter(s): Kelle Cruz (Physics); Jack Kenigsberg (Writing Center); Paul McPherron (English)


Thirty years ago, Psychologist Carol Dweck defined two core mindsets that can affect learning: a fixed mindset, the notion that intelligence and skill are determined by innate abilities, and a growth mindset, the belief that effort and persistence can improve intelligence and learning outcomes. In this lunchtime symposium, three Hunter faculty will present activities and research they learned from attending a recent CUNY symposium on growth mindset and how they have implemented these activities in their own classrooms and centers. In addition to discussing mindsets, the presenters will also highlight the roles purpose and social belonging play in student success and the roles faculty, administrators, and staff have in creating the learning environments students need in order to succeed at Hunter.

Lunch will be provided!
