I need to remember that I always have room for growth. It's really easy to get focused on everything on my (very) lengthy to-do list and forget that I have room to grow in my profession. A goal I have for myself is to take the time to seek virtual professional development opportunities to help find new ways to reach my students (both f2f and with NCVPS). One goal I have for myself is to find some new web tools to use in my courses. I tend to stick with a few of the same ones, because I don't think to branch out to use new ones.

# data[].attributes.body
This is most obvious in my personal life with four young children and the values I am working to instill within them...journals, staggered steps, goal-setting. I like the Miss Frizzle example! That is something I hope to apply within the online classroom as well as my home "classroom"

A growth mindset is one of constant reflection to improve the work that has been or is being done.  I want to Improve feedback to students by using a variety of webtools.  I use cecklists and constantly refer to the feedback given in spot checks.

A Growth Mindset in my life would look like reflection, journaling, and setting both short term and long term goals. Some goals for me for this school year have been to better know my online students and to better be able to individualize for their specific needs!

# data[].attributes.body
Growth mindset is focusing my mind or learning/changing the object of my attention. This may be something I need to do f2f or online, or it can focus on my family and their needs...maybe even the next girls' trip!

# data[].attributes.body
A growth mindset in my life would look like me always striving to better myself as a teacher, as a wife, and as a mother. For this school year, I have chosen to improve my announcements in the celebration area. So far, I have explored giphys, per Lynette, and to continue with my growth mindset, I need to explore other options, like Edubuncee and Flaming Text.

# data[].attributes.body
Growth mindset is setting goals for yourself and learning everyday to fulfill those goals. It might mean changing or altering your teaching, but through it all, you work to accomplish those goals. It might take a lifetime full of learning to reach those goals, but think of all you'll learn!

# data[].attributes.body
I believe a growth mindset is the belief that a person's basic abilities can be enhanced by hard work.

# data[].attributes.body
Growth Mindset to me is always wanting to do better and become a better person or a better professional.

This year with NCVPS my goals are focused around personalized learning and being more intentional with how I provide feedback and bridge any gaps in learning.

Steps I can take are exploring new tools to help make this possible and also just taking time to really analyze data daily to determine the needs of students.

# data[].attributes.body
Growth Mindset is engaging all learners to create a positive learning experiencing and growing as life long learners.

Trying new things! Looking for ways to better meet students' needs through individualization.

# data[].attributes.body
Involves being open to change and to continuous improvement - a life-long learner; my goals for this year are connected to my VTAP goals - stretching myself to strive for 4s instead of being content with proficient

# data[].attributes.body
Always learning and understanding that mistakes happen.  As long as we learn from our mistakes, we can grow.

# data[].attributes.body
Growth mindset is believing that there is always some place else you can go in your career and in life. It is not settling for what you are doing currently and being open-minded enough to consider other options.
I like to think I have a growth mindset in most things.
One of my goals to create more individualized feedback resources.

# data[].attributes.body
Growth mindset is being open to positive learning opportunities, using mistakes as blessings rather than curses, and going into a task/ lesson with the idea that SOMETHING will be gained.

# data[].attributes.body
Growth mindset is always striving to better yourself.

One of my goals is to be more intentional while giving feedback. I want to utilize more audio feedback!

One step I can take to ensure I maintain a growth mindset and achieve my goals is to make sure to always keep striving toward my VTAP smart goal.

# data[].attributes.body
not being comfortable with the status quo or doing it "just because."  Learning new things and experimenting. Not being afraid to take risks.

# data[].attributes.body
Always learning something new

# data[].attributes.body
Growth mindset is embracing change and growth in my personal and professional life. Trying new things in the classroom and learning new things in life are action steps!

# data[].attributes.body
Growth mindset to me would be life-long learning. I want keep learning and trying new things. Goals for this year: balance home and work, volunteer more, and get to know my students better by trying new things. Action steps: self-reflection and going out of my comfort zone.

# data[].attributes.body
Growth Mindset is pushing yourself to do what you think you cannot do.  To put aside your frustrations and I can't and turn them into I cans.

# data[].attributes.body
A growth mindset to me means you are always trying to improve regardless of your current level. Whether you have lots of room for improvement or you seem to already have it figured it out, there are always ways to get better, go further, or learn more. You just have to keep going. There is no "good enough".

# data[].attributes.body
Growth mindset is about continuing to learn new things.  Understanding that mistakes will happen and we must take that as learning opportunities.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that having a growth mindset is always continuing to learn, being a life long learner. For this school year I am wanting to learn about more tools and sites to use with my students. I think I get use to using the same things and I want to challenge them and myself to use new things.

# data[].attributes.body
I always want to grow and challenge myself to try new things.  I feel like taking part in staff development opportunities and volunteering for different activities helps me grow and learn new things.

# data[].attributes.body
Growth mindset means that you believe that you have room to grow. I believe that all of us (hopefully) are not stuck.

# data[].attributes.body
A growth mindset to me is striving to always improve. Things may go well, or maybe not, but you can learn and grow and come out better on the other side regardless.

Some goals for my NCVPS school year are visiting my schools to make personal connections with my students and teachers and also creating many resources for personalized learning, thinking of it as how I would review or remediate with students in a f2f class.

To maintain the growth mindset, I think you have to always want to improve, knowing that there are always ways to grow, adjust, or improve. Not being satisfied with the just proficient and the bare minimum is key.

In my classes, trying to reach out more and connect with students more

# data[].attributes.body
Our district began focusing on Growth Mindset last school year.  I will apply principles and strategies learned for activities and tasks performed with NCVPS.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it means not getting comfortable with where I am but always seeking to improve and being aware of areas where I could better serve students and co-teachers, but for me, it also means not working on too many things at once. I don't want to be halfway good at a lot of things. I want to focus on areas so that I can excel in an each area I tackle.

Some goals I have are to create more of my own materials and I know I need to be proactive in that area to create things before teachers even need them.

# data[].attributes.body
I love the idea that we (and students) aren't stuck where we are. I love pointing out to students who say "I'm not good at math" that now I teach science for half the day. I see it most often in NCVPS when using new tech. I often pull tech I've practiced here in my f2f classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
I think of growth mindset as a way to experiment with new skills without the fear of failure.  I'm retrying online tools that I wasn't so thrilled with the first few times.  Powtoons is a perfect example.  I was not comfortable creating Powtoons, but the more I use it, the better I get.

# data[].attributes.body
In my life, growth mindset is looking toward the future and balancing all aspects of life. Some goals I have are to take each day as a new opportunity to be better and I will set realistic goals and keep track of my growth.

# data[].attributes.body
Mine is to try new things in my classroom (fan of cultofpedagogy podcast and am implementing some of the things she recommends); using new tools and designing more user friendly/effective rubrics, for ex.

# data[].attributes.body
Every time I do something that is outside my comfort zone...stepping into a new situation, or having a life scene change...major growth for me. I love routine and boundaries...so this is BIG.

# data[].attributes.body
We are actually doing this as part of a PD at my f2f school. One focus that my grade level PLC has is self-care. As teachers, we are always caring for others and consumed with our job, usually putting ourselves last. Growth mindset for me looks like taking time to stop, breathe, and slow down - just a bit.

# data[].attributes.body
Continuing to grow in all areas and being willing to try new things.

# data[].attributes.body
Growth mindset for me means not being satisfied with the status quo. So things are going okay right now, but they could be better if I only did x, y, and z. This school year, I want to work on developing a plan for my personal and professional lives that give me time to growth both professionally and personally. I tend to spend too much time on work and not enough time on personal growth.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like a growth mindset is when I try to push myself out of my comfort zone.  Some goals for the school year to help with my growth mindset are to create and use more tools, especially in feedback.  And using Messenger to help with personalized learning.  It's hard to feel a connection with the students when you teach online, but I'm finding that using messenger helps get to know them more.

# data[].attributes.body
Growth mindset is the idea that you can improve and grow and get better at anything you set your mind to. The focus should remain on the growth not necessarily where you are in the beginning.

# data[].attributes.body
Growth mindset to me is letting students explore their strengths and showcase them in their own ways. Taking risks in the classroom as a teacher is also an example of growth mindset. Letting students learn about their interests and explore their passions while relating it to curriculum and making sure learning is relevant.

# data[].attributes.body
I think of growth mindset as the idea where you never really arrive when it comes to goals.  There are always ways to continue growing and being better.  This applies to so many parts of life!  One of my goals for this year is to create a lot of awesome tools and resources as I'm learning to teach a new curriculum in English 1.  I was very comfortable in English 3, so making the switch was a bit of a leap!  I have been taking time at least once each week to get ahead of where my classes are currently working and creating things I can use with them for feedback, PL, and announcement content.

Remembering that failure is part of the process for us in our professional and personal lives. As the teacher and mentor for my students, I feel that whatever I plan needs to hit the mark and have impact ALWAYS, but that is not reality.  I have to continue to try new things, though, because through that failure and reflection, I will be able to improve for the next activity/lesson.  And I need to accept that even if a lesson or activity does not go off exactly as planned, my students still learned something new.

# data[].attributes.body
Growth mindset to me is about understanding where you are and where you'd like to be and being able to figure out steps for how to get there. I have goals for myself to try new things in my classroom and push myself outside of my comfort zone.

This year I have the goal of incorporating students' school and community events into the inform pieces. Personally, I've had the goal of balancing work, family, and personal quiet time.

# data[].attributes.body
I am working on my time management skills so that I can give quality instruction and balance family time. I'm using different organizational tools and setting time limits for individual tasks to assist with this. I am working to overcome perfectionism in both work and home life.

# data[].attributes.body
For my personal life, my growth mindset is to balance work and family time. I want to put my family first and find joy there. Then I will be able to pour more into my work! My main goal for the school year was and is to build relationships with my students. I love to know my students personally. I will continue to make an effort to reach out to students on a regular basis, ask questions they can answer and connect to, and create tools and announcements that connect to them individually.

# data[].attributes.body
In life is to continue to create experiences for my growing family and to think of ways we can spend meaningful time together. In school.... I want to continue down the path of becoming more interactive with students and to develop the whole experience for each student.

The growth mind set is all about not dwelling in the past and doing the same as usual.  Its about getting out of your comfort zone and challenging students to think outside the box.  It's also about helping students to see their own potential in learning.

Trying new things & not being afraid to fail.  At our school, our magic word this year is...

YET.

I might not know this now or be good at this YET, but I can do it!

# data[].attributes.body
Balancing work and family - making sure family time is the most important. I am trying to make sure that my students see me learning and working to use new resources so that they can be excited about learning as well.

# data[].attributes.body
Growth mindset to me is getting out of my comfort zone and working hard to build skill in new areas (or rebuild). I've been out of running practice for awhile now and am definitely struggling to get back in the swing of things...I am sloooow...but growth mindset means I will get better by working hard toward my goals- I'll build to running longer and faster. :-) Having an end goal in mind with benchmarks along the way are key.

In my personal life, a growth mindset would look like overcoming my fear of failure and mistakes, embracing GROWTH not perfection :). For the school year, in terms of growth mindset, I'm trying to use more "-ing" type language. For example, "I'm learnING how to balance more sections" rather than "I can't keep up with all these classes." When it comes to action steps, it's important for me to identify the language that indicates a fixed mindset and alerting myself to when I start going "down that path" and making a conscious decision to re-write that narrative towards growth.

Growth mindset is the same to me as lifelong learning. I encourage lifelong learning through thematic announcements with real-world connections.

My growth mindset centers around trying new things, keeping things organized and above all, reflection.  I want to do the best I can for my students and co-teachers.

# data[].attributes.body
Trying new things to help my students be successful is what my growth mindset looks like.  Some of my goals are to use new and different tools to create better personalized/individualized learning for my students.  The action steps I have taken are to create 3 new personalized learning tools per unit which I have been able to achieve so far this semester.  I am having fun exploring new tools and my students love what I am sending them as it helps them to be more successful.

# data[].attributes.body
My inclusive elective has not been going as well as I hoped. I have done a lot of reflecting and tomorrow my students will tell me what I can change to make the class better for them. It's scary!
I also have my class structure set up to encourage growth. My students complete the same task multiple times throughout each unit and put it in a unit portfolio. The portfolio is graded at the end of the unit based on showing growth of skills.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm actually doing a Prof. Development class now on this. I saw a really good TED talk that talks about how we need to spend more time in the learning zone vs. the performance zone. So I want to continue to work to provide more explicit instruction on skills and give very specific feedback that helps students see how to learn and master the term/etc.

# data[].attributes.body
For both personal and school, I am working and always being grateful for what I have.

My personal growth mindset is to balance work and family.  Keeping that balance keeps me happy with my work environment which relates to a no stress zone in my house hold, especially since I am working out of my home. :)

Growth Mindset for my students is that I am carving out specific time to create PL for students to ensure activities and practice/review are as specific and detailed as possible for each student that I am trying to reach.
