By developing a leadership mindset, teachers are better able to inspire and facilitate a deeper and more meaningful learning environment. In Establishing a Leadership Mindset: A Guide to Using the Power of the Human Brain to Motivate Learning, educators are provided with high-impact strategies supported by recent advances in cognitive science and brain physiology. Furthermore, because these strategies support productive neuronal growth, they ensure maximum learning for a greater diversity of students, leading to a closure of achievement gaps and a more equitable opportunity for success. These strategies are universal and can be adapted to any subject matter at any level and have been replicated in the crucible of the classroom, department, division, college-wide, and system-wide with amazing results. Using the multiplying effects of a leadership mentality throughout a team or organization naturally results in buy-in to constant improvement--for students and teachers, as well as employees and supervisors. The inspirational goal of providing a learning/growth environment which moves others beyond their self-perceived limitations is shared by all leaders, whether they lead students, children, athletes, employees, soldiers, colleagues, or others. By applying the concepts and principles in this book, readers are able to enhance their own lives in their journey to enhancing the lives of others through their lead-by-example approach.
