Summary Note |
"Because the 21st century is characterized by change, disruption, and volatility, 21st century learners must be responsive, adaptable, and attentive to opportunities - they must be agile. In 'The agile learner: where growth mindset, habits of mind, and practice unite', author James Anderson draws from ample research to detail the dispositions, skills, and behaviors that teachers must help nurture in their students to ensure confident, capable lifelong learners. As Anderson explains, if students understand that they can choose which strengths to develop; that their personal growth is limitless; and that their effort and persistence are part of every successful person's backstory, they will be poised to flourish in their learning, pursue their interests, and tackle whatever unexpected challenges they meet." - Back cover. |
