Carol Dweck at 8 am central
Here's Carol Dweck's brief bio:
My work spans social and developmental psychology and examines the self-conceptions people use to structure the self and guide their behavior. My research looks at the origins of these self-conceptions, their role in motivation and self-regulation, and their impact on achievement and interpersonal processes.
I've read a couple of her articles but don't know enough. I'm looking forward to this.

Revitalizing the Veteran Teacher
Thursday, February 26 8-9 am (9-10 Eastern) Revitalizing the Veteran Teacher with Peter Gow. I am a big fan of Peter's. You can check out his blog The New Progressivism or his other blog, Admirable Faculties (yep, he has two!) to see if you're interested in catching part of this one. Here are a couple of quotes from Admirable Faculties "I worry that fear is going to drive many schools to make poor choices about sustaining their teachers." and "It's time for schools to look at their mission statements and dig into the language that is most idealistic and then figure out how to realize those ideals in ways that will be exciting and compelling to students and families in years to come."

NAIS 09 Live Reports!
Live from NAIS! I'll be live blogging from a conference again. Here's my schedule for the first two days, with links to further information about the sessions I've selected. Times are central, so I'm converting them too. Rather than having one blog for all the sessions, I'm going to break it up by topic so that it will be easier for you to find what interests you. Note that you can schedule a reminder to your email for any of these! Please feel free to add comments or ask questions. You can do this ahead of a session or during it. I'll post the Friday links soon.
