Growth mindset is thinking positively, and if you try to go through life and work with that positivity, positive things are more likely to come from it.

I want to be reminded of how important it is to keep that positivity and light with me, because seeing the good, or hope for the good is contagious.

Growth mindset to me has always been kids getting incrementally smarter as they work through a unit and be able to make connections with the material.

I’m hoping to learn a few tips and tricks to have a better classroom environment.

I have sat in several PD about the growth mindset. Each PD has focused more on finding you "why?" then any other piece of the growth mindset.

I hope to encourage students to focus more on taking risks, than on getting the right grade or answer. To grow in their confidence as a learner.

I do have some background knowledge on growth mindset. The main point is that we should be looking at things in a way that leads us to always be learning and doing better for ourselves.

My "WHY" is that I want to help others grow and see that they can be successful even when they feel like they are not as good as or as smart as others.

Teaching is always evolving. Students are always changing. Students also have different needs. It is crucial for teachers to be mindful of students' person lives without lowering standards. Growth mindset to me means being receptive to students' needs without lowering expectations.

I am known for being a positive, happy person, but there are times in my life where I doubt myself and my abilities. By learning about the power of having a growth-mindset, all aspects of my life have gotten more tolerable during difficult situations. It takes time to undo all the negative build ups we create for no reason. Teaching my students to develop a more positive way of thinking has helped them as well to grow as students and individuals.
