With school back in session after winter break, you and your kids might be focused on tests and projects. You might be wondering some children succeed while others fail. Baylor School is hosting a lecture with Paul Tough, author of "How Children Succeed," on Monday, January 11, at 7 p.m. in the Baylor School Chapel. Parents, educators and anyone who works with children and teens will benefit from this free event.
Paul Tough is the author, most recently, of "How Children Succeed: Grit, Curiosity, and the Hidden Power of Character," which has been translated into 27 languages and has spent more than a year on the New York Times hardcover and paperback best-seller lists. His first book, "Whatever It Takes: Geoffrey Canada’s Quest to Change Harlem and America," was published in 2008.
Paul is a contributing writer to the New York Times Magazine, where he has written extensively about education, parenting, poverty, and politics, including cover stories on character education, the achievement gap, and the Obama administration’s poverty policies.
He has worked as an editor at the New York Times Magazine and Harper's Magazine and as a reporter and producer for the public-radio program “This American Life.” He was the founding editor of Open Letters, an online magazine.
