The NGCP works to strengthen capacity of existing girl-serving STEM projects by sharing exemplary practices, research findings, and program models. One method we use to achieve this goal is a series of free webinars in which practitioners and researchers from across the country share effective strategies in STEM.

The Importance of a Growth Mindset: Action Steps for Educators
Wednesday, September 21, 2016
10:00-11:00 AM Pacific (1:00-2:00 PM Eastern)
Having a growth mindset can lead to positive changes in our educational system. Access to education for everyone depends on the shift from a fixed to a growth mindset. In this webinar we will discuss the effects that micromessages can have on underrepresented youth and present steps we can take to be more inclusive in STEM education and careers. Key issues and barriers that affect underrepresented youths' access to and persistence in STEM will be discussed.
Our goals with furthering this conversation include:
Understanding the importance of building a growth mindset
Understanding the impact of micromessages on the development of mindset and self-efficacy in STEM
Recognizing culturally-based implicit biases that underlie our micromessages
Identifying strategies to minimize micro-inequities and maximize micro-affirmations.
