Dear Parent Leaders,
We invite you and your school community to join us for the upcoming Challenge Success parent education event on Friday, September 26th, at Stanford University.
Challenge Success was founded 11 years ago at the Stanford Graduate School of Education. Every day, we provide families and schools with the practical, research-based tools they need to raise healthy, motivated kids. We believe that our society has become too focused on grades, test scores and performance, leaving little time and energy for our kids to become resilient, successful, meaningful contributors for the 21st century.
Our annual school conference kicks-off on September 26th with “Success By Design: Is It Possible?” — a parent education event that is open to the public.Keynote speakers for the evening include Wendy Mogel (New York Times bestselling author) and Dave Evans (Lecturer at the Stanford Product Design Program and Co-Founder of Electronic Arts). They will be joined by Challenge Success Co-Founders, Dr. Denise Pope and Dr. Madeline Levine, for an interactive discussion about the meaning of success: What are the common beliefs about success we convey to kids in our overly scheduled and competitive society? What are the assumptions and misperceptions behind these beliefs? How can parents and educators help students design their own unique and authentic paths to success?
