We often fuel a student's self-image, intentionally or unintentionally. If we can help them to believe that they can achieve and overcome, challenges become interesting versus frightening.

You can make believers out of your GT students by focusing on their efforts, rather than their intelligence.

We need to encourage our students to believe in themselves! Support a Growth Mindset!

Being a belief maker may make a reluctant student work up to their greater potential. They may see things in themselves they haven’t before.

The belief that intelligence and ability to learn can be grown is a positive belief that should be nurtured in the classroom

# data[].attributes.body
My job is to give them a lot of info about a particular subject, AND prepare them for life beyond my classroom. For me, these are equally important.

# data[].attributes.body
Effort matters always!!! Don’t empty praise!

# data[].attributes.body
Encourage kids to always give best effort!

# data[].attributes.body
If you are focused on ability, students focus on proving ability rather than learning.

# data[].attributes.body
Effort is something that can be controlled. Natural ability and intelligence isn’t.

# data[].attributes.body
Students with a growth mindset are more likely to have positive beliefs because they believe they can but understand it will take work.

# data[].attributes.body
We use the Growth Mindset model to encourage belief makers.

# data[].attributes.body
Again it depends on the belief being broken.

# data[].attributes.body
Always teach kids to believe in themselves and not be a negative believer!

# data[].attributes.body
Students trust belief makers. They feel safe.

# data[].attributes.body
Pros - getting the kids to see beyond their circumstances!  Cons- too much is expected and kids are overwhelmed

# data[].attributes.body
As a teacher we are in the job of being a belief maker. You have to at times break their beliefs to rechannel them for their higher expectations.

# data[].attributes.body
Attitude counts

# data[].attributes.body
Just because you teach GT kids doesn’t mean they are all awesome students. Teaching seniors makes for tough, real conversations.

# data[].attributes.body
I try to be a belief breaker if the belief is not conducive to learning. "I am bad at math" should be broken and replaced with I don't understand this yet.

# data[].attributes.body
Pro - opening a student’s mind to greater possibilities that they may not yet be aware of, while cheering them on
Con - you may be projecting your own beliefs, which may be biased or limiting, on an impressionable mind

Con: un healthy beliefes could have a long term effect on students too

# data[].attributes.body
Students will try new things because they believe they can.

# data[].attributes.body
GT students have a desire to push boundaries and reach beyond the norm. This makes them phenomenal innovators. Teachers can push their students to be innovative and iconoclastic, but there is a line. Students need to be rooted in reality, with a firm understanding of expectations and societal norms. They need to know what they are capable of and have realistic expectations of themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
I prefer encouragement instead of praise.

# data[].attributes.body
Healthy praise produce healthy beliefs

I have found if you encourage a student based on intelligence they will be laxidazical in their effort and still expect high grades. I tell them they need to prove their ability through their effort they put forward.

Many GT kids are very passionate about their beliefs, but do not have the skills to think objectively. We have a great opportunity to help them grow and develop in this area.

# data[].attributes.body
Pro-Provides the student a chance to stay within their beliefs boundaries.
Cons- Doesn’t give the student a chance to evolve or-grow.
-Leaves the student with only one understanding of how things work in the real world.
-Sets up the student for failure, not being use to making mistakes or learning what hard work feels like.

Failure is a key to success, it allows you to be able to learn and grow and realize that not all things are set in stone. Students must have the opportunity to fail in order to grow.
