I have had this idea taught before. A previous principal had a huge banner for the school that said "Smart is not something you ARE, it is something you GET." I love the use of YET and have used it with many older students in speech/language therapy.

After reading and discussing this topic one thing I will change is how I praise my students to help nurture a growth mindset in them. (Richelle Menzie)

I will do my best to watch how and why I'm praising my students.

I will challenge myself to get more students involved in the classroom by utilizing more activities that allow students to "have the floor." I will also go out of my way to encourage students that feel that they are not able to learn and convince them that they are capable.

A good reminder that failure is a learning moment.

I think that it's very important to keep a growth mindset in mind, especially on the most frustrating days. There are days when it is very difficult to keep in mind that I can persevere through my own frustrations, and that just reflects onto my students. This just encourages them to have a fixed mindset as well. So, I think that one way that I can challenge myself in the classroom is to turn around my own fixed thoughts when the come up to be more "fixed" thoughts, so that my students don't see that. Also, I think that I could work harder at encouraging the students to believe in themselves. It is sometimes easy to get lost in the craziness of the day and forget to check in with all of the students and see how they are feeling. It's our job to check in and make sure they feel supportive, and that's something I could work on with all of my kids throughout each period every day.

I will put myself out there by modeling how to handle failure.

I will put myself "out there" more and use my own failures as examples for students.

I have noticed myself becoming more negative as I have interacted with other teachers. All the problems in our school seem to build up and whenever I attempt to propose a solution it is always shot down. I will try to focus on myself and my abilities as a teacher first. Being more positive will show my fellow teachers and students that making meaningful impacts is possible no matter what situation we are in.

Now that I am more of the growth mindset I will challenge myself to help my students see the positive through the negative. Turning negative comments or feelings about themselves into positive comments about how they can grow rather than staying in the same place.

This is a great way to process with students who have had a behavioral issue in school as a way to make a plan for the future. Often times kids with emotional issues can only see 5 feet in front of them and need support to see past a particular issue.

I will challenge myself by be willing and open to show my own mistakes and flaws. Sometimes that can be tormenting and embarrassing because as a teacher, you feel like you are supposed to have an air of perfection about you. However, being an example of imperfection and willingness to grow will help the entire class.

I am more aware how students are feeling and want to give up. This will hopefully help me to start changing the mindset of the students. Thank you for the poster, to help me to say other comments to the students.

In the classroom, you can encounter a lot of negativity. It is so important to redirect the student's focus in a positive direction. In my resource classroom, I will continue to challenge myself and my students to stay positive and look for ways to change difficulties into successes.

I will challenge myself to get more students involved in class and to

Look for different ways to improve learning for not only my students but also myself as well! Give them praise not for the end product but the effort and work along the way

This was a great experience for me. It was a helpful reminder to try and have a growth mindset even during those situations where we want to shut down.
