How Kids Learn: Speaker's Forum with Eduardo Briceño, CEO of Mindset Works

There has been a great deal of buzz about growth mindsets and its impact on learning and development. Eduardo Briceño, CEO of Mindset Works, will discuss the mindset research and its practical application with a focus on youth programs. Eduardo co-founded Mindset Works with Carol Dweck, Lisa Blackwell and other mindsetters to help adult leaders strengthen their practices that instill growth mindset beliefs and encourage young people to take ownership.

Eduardo has spoken at numerous industry conferences, delivered a popular TEDx talk on mindset, and has been featured in news media such as NPR and Education Week. He also answered questions in a recent LIAS blog post. Prior to Mindset Works, he was a Principal at the Sprout Group, a venture capital firm in Silicon Valley, and served as an Education Pioneers Fellow at New Leaders and on various non-profit and for-profit boards. Eduardo holds MBA and M.A. in Education degrees from Stanford University, and bachelor’s degrees in Economics and Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania. Most important, he continues to enjoy lifelong learning every day.

Speaker's Forum attendees will have the opportunity to discuss the research and application to practice, and ask questions with Mr. Briceño. After the formal presentation, attendees are invited to continue their discussions and network with their peers with a boxed lunch (included with registration) prepared by Oakland's The Town Kitchen.
