At the completion of our Unit 1 test in Math, we showed the students the percent of our class who improved from the pre-test to the post test. We discussed how we are not looking at how many students got an "A", but how many students simply made an improvement. Our class has set a goal for this Unit to have 100% student make growth from the pre-test to the post-test.

Using GROWTH MINDSET music can be a fantastic source of motivation for students, help elicit positive emotions, stir a spirit of optimism, & energize children into that "I can do anything” mindset! :)

We started with the T chart with the kids (from the book) and they really enjoyed coming up with things that they had to learn before they could learn something else. We then discussed the definitions of growth and fixed mindsets, and continue to review the terms as situations come up. We had the students take the survey and scored each student based on the scale in the book. We made a line plot with the data and posted it so we can hopefully show a shift in some mind sets by the end of the year. We also had the kids work in pairs to do the sort in the book, which led to some good conversation.

Create a "Work in Progress" bulletin board to value students' efforts vs. hanging only completed or publishable work. If you use push pins, students can edit and revise as they grow.

Something very simple and easy to do----print the mantra of the month and display it in your classroom.  Use it within your everyday vocabulary!

If you use the class dojo, or have an account, or even want to sign up for an account just to access the great videos,  they have a video series (5 videos about 5 minutes long each) on the growth mindset. We plan to have the kids watch the "mini series" during snack within the next couple of weeks to learn about how the mind can grow :)

I like the ideas for teaching children to recognize growth mindset and fixed mindset. It makes sense that they must be able to understand the difference in order to make the shift.

Jill: has copies of books ish, The Dot, and Your Fantastic Elastic Brain by JoAnn Deak that we can share
Monica: Take 3-4 phrases from fixed and show them how to move to growth mindset: pg 39
Edie: page 18 print out for teachers in large format so we have it and have it as a reminder
Nikki: growth mindset for PD and bad days so how can we be more positive in the moment and have the right mindset
Amy: ditto :)

I want to support teachers as they explore ways to use the concepts/strategies for September. One thing that intrigues me is evaluating the features of a growth mindset classroom and adjust our practice.
