The Influencer

This blog is worth the time to read today: http://thefischbowl.blogspot.com/2009/02/great-reset-crisis-in-k-12-education-is.html

I have been reading The Influencer: The Power to Change Anything by five authors. It has aligned interestingly with our CORE activity about Talent and deliberate practice. It actually refers to “deliberate practice” and the researchers behind the label. The book also refers to Carol Dweck’s work on fixed and growth mindsets. It’s like things just line up sometimes. The work that intrigues me the most is the Delancey Street Foundation and its success in taking thieves, prostitutes, druggies, and other criminals and helping them become contributing workers. So my train of thought is if someone out there can do it then we can to.
