Limitless Mind - Jo Boaler (Book Read 2020)


The Six Keys: 
1) The brain grows - neuroplasticity
2) Mistakes and challenges have positive impact
3) The growth mindset affects behavior
4) Multidimensional approach is beneficial
*page 113 - The author suggests that HW has limited benefits. But the cited source is focused on highly privileged, high-performing high schools.
5) Flexible thinking over speed
6) Collaborate with others

I appreciate the work on improving student learning and math education.  I would like to see the research that back up the key points.  I wonder if the conclusions can be generalized to all levels of learners at all schools. (From 11/29/2020)
