PDAC Book Study Outliers:
The Story of SuccessBy Malcolm Gladwell
Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world
of "outliers"--the best and the brightest, the most famous and
the most successful. He asks the question: what makes high-
achievers different?
His answer is that we pay too much attention to what
successful people are like, and too little attention to where they
are from: that is, their culture, their family, their generation, and
the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing.

PDAC MOVIE “SCREENAGERS”
"Sit your kids down and watch this movie. Sit on them if you have
to. It's a MUST SEE for anyone with kids in their lives!"
Martha Adams, Chief Creative Officer for Girls Rising
"I have been very concerned about this issue and as I'm a
geneticist I'm very interested in the science behind it. The film is
REMARKABLE: thoughtful, provocative and beautifully filmed and
edited." — Beth T., Geneticist at UCSF Children’s Hospital

What activities, practices, or considerations are important to a student’s emotional and mental health?
Mental Health
Children’s mental health is as critical as their
physical health in achieving overall wellbeing.
Healthy social and emotional development is
a necessary underpinning for learning, school
success, relationship development and
positive interactions with their environment.
Children’s mental health is built on a foundation
that depends on their family, community, and
child-serving system’s ability to support
them.
