How well do concepts fit into the Indian context - of Inequality on the basis of caste, gender, religion etc. ?

# data[].attributes.body
I think for each of the concepts deep engagement is required in order to develop our own understanding of it.  The links made between concepts may be personal interpretations. This is probably important for each of us and for each student to do for themselves.

I still see a lot of this in the social - emotional space. Do we want to go into the performance character strengths as well....of course there are overlaps, but lessons that specifically target them!

This whole piece is one strand in the understanding of Self. The other other strand--to be unpacked--has to do with Self in relation to others (empathy and compassion integral to this) or Self in society. Wouldn't caste, gender etc be my identity as ascribed by society? Should we distinguish between my identity as I choose to define it from my identity as society defines it?

I think this is an approach that has not used the terminologies of Performance and Relational character, which is refreshing, but those terminologies certainly can be used, I'd say, to clarify things.

MANDELA QUOTE ON RESILIENCE

Seligmann's PERMA model for authentic happiness may link in here with the concept of achieving Flow.  Refers to Positive Emotions,  Engagement, Relationships, Motivation, Accomplishment https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iK6K_N2qe9Y

Is engagement and achieving Flow enough or do we need to get to actual Accomplishment? And how does it relate to Self-Efficacy?(Just raising questions, we need to reflect together on this, not really "give" answers)

# data[].attributes.body
I Think we need to refer to more resources on Guided Mastery or just Mastery. For example, how does Dan Pink use the term? I think Gladwell's concept of Outliers, people who have achieved mastery through 10,000 hours of practice, might be worth thinking about.

I wonder if we can use the image of a jigsaw, different aspects of the Self that connect to each other to complete a picture? With separate boxes connected by arrows, how do we make all the connections? Grit and Growth Mindset connected to Purpose and Motivation but also to Mastery and Self-efficacy, no?

Horace Mann's quote: education as equalizer, relevance today;
questioning power
catchwords, tokenism, challenging all of this; embodiment of freedom; power of oral communication, eloquence, mastery over language, creativity: own and that of every individual, idea of empowerment of every individual; born to be comets; sharing up the world (leaving a legacy?) see their true potential; education is the sleep that precedes the American Dream, extraordinary imagery of Black hole, absorbing everything, the sky is not the limit it is only the beginning...ability to connect to audience; ability to make connections across all kinds of boundaries; relationship to concept of self-efficacy? mastery?

Character strengths I see - Critical thinker, well -read, Passionate, Very Creative, Very Confident, Good Public speaker - above all Charismatic

Especially got thinking about how important identity is - so even in a poem which has a major emphasis on education, it is about history and identity - more importantly how do you use this identity?
Does this become a source of under confidence, depravity  - as a result of actual or perceived discrimination? When does this become a strength? This person embodies for me the idea of accepting and embracing yourself and your history.

Reminds me of something Shashi said - You become a good public speaker when through study and reflection you feel you are in command of a body of knowledge and that knowledge and inner light shines through

"success" also brings to mind "failure';
honest, straightforward, even if they are being mean, people who have a love for learning, enthusiasm for knowledge, not in the institutionalized sense, learning about people in an otganization and outside of it, the idea of diversity, all kinds of people, adding to your self, success is also to do away with your own blockages and stereotypes, broadening your horizons, giving up your rigidity and being attached to your ideologies and your beliefs, reflects in the way you work, kindness, collaboration and working together, links to not being so rigid, able to work with people, sense of right and wrong, strong sense of ethics, want to empathize with others but it is also important to value the voices of those who are discriminated against, difficult to let go of one's ideology or sense of right and wrong; engaging with those whose views are blatantly discriminatory, ability to communicate with and influence those opinions; Passion, finding something you're really passionate about, radiates out, inner world but also outer world becomes much better; confident people seem to be able to operate in the world much better; everyone needs to come to terms with their own identity and their own history, there is an evolving generation in India, references are very different, there is an identity conflict, tussle for disadvantaged and also privileged middle class, important for people to narrativize their own stories and come to terms with them; what is empowerment? what is finding a voice? Growth Mindset really eye-opening for students, have been competing all their lives, parameters used to judge oneself very disempowering

I realised that I had not been able to completely how guided mastery could lead to self-efficacy.
On watching the video again I realised that what Bandura found through his study was that once people had mastered their fear of snakes, their attitude about a lot of other things in their lives changed as well; their anxiety decreased, they were more resilient, more persevering, more confident. Bandura called this 'self-efficacy'.
Taking this forward, how I now understand what David Kelley is saying is that we could transfer this same exercise to help people master their fear of creativity. Once they've mastered that, they will also show  an increase in self confidence, they will achieve self-efficacy.(referring to the aspects like reduced anxiety, more perseverance mentioned earlier)
Does this make it a bit more clear?

# data[].attributes.body
i think there is a relationship to mastery and self efficacy that is reflected here. Ability to master something and the freedom and confidence that it demonstrates.
I think Donovan's piece and his story could be an example of what David Kelley is trying to talk about.

# data[].attributes.body
My confusion with this is that it is our ascribed identities that heavily inform our lives and our experiences.
What would it mean to define my own identity? What would it mean to someone from a marginalised identity and one from a privileged identity.
Can we draw any references from Donovan's piece?

# data[].attributes.body
- Where does motivation come from? Failing forward - motivation from action

Isn't there a connect  between Growth Mindset, Self - Efficacy and Motivation

The link between empathy and compassion to self-efficacy is fussy for me - it can be so in an outward sort of sense where the person's work  specifically uses strengths such as compassion, but not sure how it works otherwise and for not very socially engaged students

Can you talk a little more about guided mastery and flow. Are these techniques for bringing out creative expression?

I think more than the links that you have drawn....what are the resources that can help us understand the concepts much more....I know a few like grit and empathy , but not sure of several others.

# data[].attributes.body
I think actual accomplishment is also imp. I'm assuming that when I'm in Flow doing an activity, with each accomplishment, I move one level up.
And with these accomplishments (steps to guided mastery?) I will build my self-efficacy?

Agree that he is accepting and embracing himself and his history and I also felt that he's going a step ahead to want to change this history.
