Mary Cay Ricci

This book is based on the notion of a growth mindset, in which all students can achieve at a higher level with effort and persistence -- especially if they persist in the fact of failures & setbacks.

The book explains to multiple audiences (primarily teachers, but also parents and school staff) how to use this principle. The "resources" in the title refers to the great number of worksheets, lessons, outlines, plans, charts, and other materials in the book.
