Mark Your Calendars for the rescheduled “What Works in Education Speaker Series”: What Makes Children Successful and Can these Qualities Be Taught? Tuesday, November 27th at 7:00pm Bolton Street Synagogue 212 West Coldspring Lane, 21210 Author Paul Tough will present his new book How Children Succeed: Grit, Curiosity and the Hidden Power of Character. In How Children Succeed, Paul Tough argues that the qualities that matter most have more to do with character: skills like perseverance, curiosity, conscientiousness, optimism, and self-control. He introduces us to researchers and educators who, for the first time, are using the tools of science to peel back the mysteries of character. Through their stories – and the stories of the children they are trying to help – Tough provides new insights regarding how best to steer an individual child or a whole generation of children toward a successful future.
