About This Book

"James Nottingham and Bosse Larsson offer an important and useful new addition to the ongoing conversation about mindset first introduced by Carol Dweck. Too often, theories such as mindset get reduced down to the simplest dichotomies and ideologies. Here, Nottingham and Larsson challenge our own mindset about the very idea of mindset theory itself, showing us what is possible if wereallyunderstand the theory and use it to challenge ourselves and our students."

Jim Burke,
Teacher, Burlingame High School, and Author, Common Core Companion Series
