SUMMARY:MEMBER EVENT: Village of Promise Speaker Series with Paul Tough
DESCRIPTION:Paul Tough challenges our culture's belief that intelligence\, endlessly measured by test scores\, is the sole indicator of value in our education system. It's not. In How Children Succeed\, he ushers in a tidal change in thinking and argues that non-cognitive skills or character are better indicators of success: curiosity\, conscientiousness\, optimism\, self-control\, and grit.\n\n\n\nA contributing writer to the New York Times Magazine\, Paul Tough is also the author of Whatever It Takes: Geoffrey Canada's Quest to Change Harlem and America\, which focuses on the steps necessary to improve the lives and education of underserved children. Through the case study of the Harlem Children's Zone\, Tough describes the inspiring struggle to establish a way to combat poverty that could be replicated nationwide.\n\n\n\nClick here for PDF flier.
