Many of my classroom practices around group discussions and presentations help to facilitate students being problem solvers. My goal is to make sure their are clear protocols and systems to allow kids to thrive in this and live it.

I am going to model a growth mindset when it comes to physical fitness and be willing to share vulnerabilities.

Creating more group discussions within the SEL curriculum.

Emphasizing more restorative justice within SEL in order to make it a more familiar process outside of advisory

# data[].attributes.body
I will promote a growth mindset in my classroom by encouraging students to learn from their mistakes + complete test corrections and reflections

# data[].attributes.body
To support these pillars, I would like to implement more Socratic seminars and discussions to get students to think abstractly about moral and ethical questions. This teaches empathy and a healthy social outlook. History is told by multiple perspectives going through the same event, students should also be exposed to different opinions and narratives.

# data[].attributes.body
Personally schedule one on ones in my calendar with every student within my advisory. This is to hold us both accountable to have those growth conversations.

I will ensure that my instructional dialogue fosters a growth mindset and fosters confidence.

I will support the Profile of a Graduate by being intentional about norms and goal-setting with students. Keeping consistent feedback and communication.

# data[].attributes.body
Participate in visual projects that engage curiosity and open minds.

# data[].attributes.body
One way intentionally support the profile of a graduate is by practicing their communication skills in all categories. Whether its how to ask a question about something their stuck on, or presenting in front of the class.

# data[].attributes.body
As a 6th grade teacher I will focus on intentionally teaching collaboration and sharing a point of view with confidence.

# data[].attributes.body
I usually start this half way through the year to get them ready for one of the units (where they have to formulate their own opinion based on their research), but I want to start every class with an easy opinion developer question where they have to choose a side and defend it. For example, which is better - chocolate based candies or sugar based candies. Something low stakes so they don't feel attacked/closed off.

# data[].attributes.body
I’m committed to leading by example in exhibiting what true empathy looks and feels like. I’m also committed to preparing them to be innovators who are capable of collaborating with their peers effectively through different activities that encourage them to step outside their comfort zone.

I am committed to encouraging students to take pride in their identity, values and interests through creating an inclusive learning environment.
