What role does encouragement and play in student success? Bestselling Author Paul Tough cites recent research which demonstrates that for many students — and especially those growing up in poverty — positive reinforcement can be a game-changer.
Paul Tough’s newest book is Helping Children Succeed: What Works and Why. His previous book, How Children Succeed: Grit, Curiosity, and the Hidden Power of Character, was translated into 27 languages and spent more than a year on the New York Times Bestseller List. He will present a plenary session in Las Vegas.
