Goal Attainment: MCII Mental Contrasting promotes effective goal
setting ◦ What is my goal? ◦ What good thing will happen if I achieve this goal? ◦ What obstacles stand in the way of my reaching this
goal?
Implementation Intention plans specify where, when, and how you will get around the obstacles ◦ “If it is a weekday at 6pm, then I will go to my bedroom
and do my work.” ◦ And, “If my brother bothers me, then I will…”

From skills to habits “Our virtues are
habits as much as our vices…our nervous systems have grown to the way in which they have been exercised, just as a sheet of paper or a coat, once creased or folded, tends to fall forever afterward into the same identical folds.” --William James (1899)

“…Not all students know that the brain can get smarter, even though it may help them succeed… Write a letter to your friend telling them about what you just learned about the brain and why they shouldn’t be discouraged… ”

Implementation: Putting Theories Into Practice
What to implement? ◦ A psychological experience ◦ NOT a handout
How do you change psychology and make it matter over time? ◦ “Stealthy” ◦ Self-reinforcing through school experience
What do you need to design and implement? ◦ Student-centered approach ◦ Continued evaluation
