  MINDSET: THE PSYCHOLOGY OF SUCCESS Carol Dweck is the author of the groundbreaking work surrounding having a growth mindset.  In this book, she talks about the WHY and the HOW rather than just the what that we teach.  It’s an important read for anyone who believes that mindsets are flexible and not already set when they reach our classrooms.   THE INNOVATOR’S MINDSET “Kids walk into schools full of wonder and questions. How you, as an educator, respond to students’ natural curiosity can help further their own exploration and shape the way they learn today and in the future.”  We LOVE this fantastic new book and all of the ways author George Couros offers to empower us to teach in a way that builds forward-thinking learners.   HOW TO THINK LIKE DA VINCI We all know that da Vinci was the ultimate Renaissance Man.  But did you know that there are ways you can cultivate your own talents and intelligence to go beyond what you ever imagined?  This bookuses da Vinci’s own notebooks, artwork, and inventions as springboards into the Seven daVincian Principles for curiosity.   THE THIRD TEACHER This book, from an international team of architects and designers, explores the critical link between the school environment and how children learn. The Third Teacher offers 79 practical design ideas, both great and small, to improving school from the inside out. 32
