Growth Mindset

摘要

Whether he's tossing books at pep rallies, writing grants, developing community partnerships, or convening a student roundtable to improve the school, Dustin Hensley is driven to serve students. Along with two other teachers and 23 students at Elizabethton High School, Hensley developed The Bartleby Project (2015-21), a project-based learning curriculum incorporating service within the teens' small Appalachian community. Bartleby was submitted to the XQ Institute's Super School competition, and although Elizabethton High wasn't selected for the grand prize- a new school building-the $200,000 from XQ helped open the door to $2.5 million in grants.
