A major part of the strategic planning process is to elicit input from a broad base of stakeholders including staff, parents, and community members.

It's a community. Even if it's just you, we all band together.
The team notices.
The rivals notice.
Together, one by one, we make the Friday night lights burn not only brighter...
but wilder!

Upcoming Stanford in Redwood City Lecture
Mindset
with Professor Carol Dweck
"If you manage any people or if you are a parent...drop everything and read Mindset." - Guy Kawasaki
...or better yet, attend the free Stanford in Redwood City Speaker Series
Who: Carol Dweck, world-renowned Stanford University psychologist and author of the best-selling book Mindset: The New Psychology of Success. She's been featured in The New Yorker, Time, and The Wall Street Journal, and has appeared on Today, 20/20, and Good Morning America.
What: A 1-hour talk on a truly groundbreaking idea-the power of mindset! Learn why praising brains and talent doesn't foster self-esteem or boost accomplishments. Discover how great CEOs, parents, teachers, and athletes succeed and how you can develop a growth mindset in yourself and others.
Why: With the right mindset you can motivate anyone-employees, students, peers, children, and even yourself-to reach personal, educational, and professional goals.
When: October 16, 2014, 5:30 - 7:00 pm
Where: Carrington Hall, Sequoia High School
1201 Brewster Avenue, Redwood City
RSVP: StanfordRedwoodCity.com

Próxima charla sobre la disposición mental y la psicología del éxito, de la serie "Stanford en Redwood City"
"Si usted tiene hijos o personal a su cargo... deje todo lo que está haciendo y léase esta obra sobre la disposición mental". - Guy Kawasaki
...o mejor aún: asista a la Serie de charlas gratuitas de Stanford en Redwood City
Quién: Carol Dweck, psicóloga de fama mundial de la Universidad de Stanford y autora del libro Mindset: The New Psychology of Success. Ha sido destacada en las publicaciones The New Yorker, Time y The Wall Street Journal y en los programas Today, 20/20 y Good Morning America de la televisión norteamericana.
Qué: Charla de 1 hora sobre una idea realmente revolucionaria: ¡el poder de la disposición mental! Aprenda por qué elogiar la inteligencia y el talento no mejora la autoestima ni refuerza los logros. Descubra el secreto del éxito de presidentes de compañías, maestros y atletas, y sobre cómo crear una disposición mental de crecimiento tanto en usted como en otros.
Por qué: Con la disposición mental correcta podemos motivar a cualquiera -empleados, estudiantes, colegas, niños, o incluso a nosotros mismos- a lograr metas personales, educativas y profesionales.
Cuándo: 16 de octubre de 2014, 5:30 - 7:00 p. m.
