The power of believing that you can improve by Carol Dweck a visual summarySameer Mathur
Backed up by proven Scientific studies, Carol Dweck explains that Intelligence is Malleable.
Years of research provide concrete data that when we struggle with problems, we actually grow. When you grapple with problems, you make new neural connections which makes you smarter.
Mindset for Achievement: How to Boost Achievement and Fulfillment Through Min...BayCHI
Carol Dweck at BayCHI, May 11, 2010: Mindset is a simple idea discovered by world-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck in decades of research on achievement and success—a simple idea that makes all the difference. In a fixed mindset, people believe their basic qualities, like their intelligence or talent, are simply fixed traits. They spend their time documenting their intelligence or talent instead of developing them. Dweck's research also shows that praising intelligence can harm motivation by creating a fixed mindset. People also tend to believe that talent alone creates success—without effort. They're wrong. In a growth mindset, people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work—brains and talent are just the starting point. This view creates a love of learning and a resilience that is essential for great accomplishment. Virtually all great people have had these qualities. Teaching a growth mindset creates motivation and productivity in the worlds of business, education, and sports.
Strategic Planning is a key business activity for many organizations, and yet, many of these plans remain on the shelf while day-to-day demands take over. This presentation outlines how psychological type (popularized in the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator - MBTI) can be leveraged as a great tool for a strategic planning effort. Originally presented at the August 2009 APTi Conference by Jennifer Tucker and Hile Rutledge:
A presentation on the strengths that I offer to bring to my next job. The qualities that I claim to possess, by themselves may not be uncommon, but the value addition is in how I employ those strengths. Something I look forward to discussing further over a phone call.
A one-page summary of the key differences between the fixed mindset and the growth mindset (concepts developed by Prof Carol Dweck from Stanford University).
Growth mindset has been shown to be significantly predictive of long-term success in a variety of areas, including acedemic success.
A presentation explaining fixed and growth mindsets including applications and implications.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

ABRCMS in San Antonio, TX – November 12, 2014
• Case Study – Joseph and his research advisor
o Joseph has been having trouble understanding his research advisor’s expectations and goals for
his research. This is particularly frustrating for Joe, because he’s very friendly and gets along with
most people. He has weekly meetings with his advisor, where he tells her all about his ups and
downs from his research progress, along with complications and successes. Joe is aware that he’s
communicative and talkative, so he believes that he’s doing a good job with informing her about
his research progress. But recently his advisor has asked him questions that surprised him,
because he didn’t realize that she had wanted something else. He just wishes that she would
explain more clearly what she wants and expects, so that they can work better together. But his
advisor doesn’t seem to say much during their meetings, and seems withdrawn from his
perspective.
Questions:
1) From the case study, do you think Joseph is an introvert or extrovert? Explain your reasoning,
referring to specific details mentioned in the case study.
2) Do you think the professor is an introvert or extrovert? Explain your reasoning.
3) How might Joe adapt, to work better with his professor? How can he improve his understanding
of her expectations for his research?
a) How might Joseph use his strengths to help resolve his problem?
b) What underdeveloped type skills (see tables below for some ideas) might Joseph need to
address as he considers how to improve the communication with his professor?
4) How would this relationship differ if Joseph and his professor had their opposite types? This is a
tough, but important question!
a) How might conflicts and miscommunications arise?
b) How can they effectively address or avoid their conflicts?
