“…you can’t just drop new 
innovations into a classroom 
and hope that the instructor 
will invent effective ways to 
use them. To fully utilize a 
new teaching technology, you 
often need to invent new 
teaching practices as well.”

Teacherpreneurship 
“Finnish teachers pick books and customize lessons as they 
shape students to national standards… ‘. In Finland, the 
teachers are the entrepreneurs," says Mr. Schleicher, of 
the Paris-based OECD, which began the international 
student test in 2000.’

Teacherpreneur Mindset #1
15 minutes 
2-3 times a week
FIXED MINDSET 
A belief that you are 
what you are right 
now and can never 
improve or change.
GROWTH 
MINDSET 
A belief that you 
can grow, improve, 
and learn
Goal Setting Tip #1: 
Accurately assess your 
strengths and weaknesses 
 ““If, like those with the growth mindset, 
you believe you can develop yourself, 
then you're open to accurate information 
about your current abilities, even if it's 
unflattering. What's more, if you're 
oriented toward learning, as they are, you 
need accurate information about your 
current abilities in order to learn 
effectively.” 
 Carol Dweck, Mindset
YOU MUST MASTER 
YOUR OWN MIND 
FIRST 
Why we are calling this a global mastermind workshop.
