Jo Boaler recommends creating tasks that are low floor and high ceiling. Low floor means the task has multiple starting points, so all students can build on their success. High ceiling means the task has the opportunity for students to extend and challenge themselves to higher levels. My students  have worked on a few of these this year.  It is encouraging to see students from all different levels of background knowledge working on a letter to a company trying to convince them to buy their math creation to sell in their store.

Allowing students to take retakes of assessments where they did not score well helps students recognize mistakes, learn from them, and strive to do better. My students always show pride when they see an improved score and can say they finally "got it!"

Perseverence needs to be applauded when a D student moves to a C,  or an F to a D.   We have to keep encouraging the Growth mindset, and add to it.  Loved that Ted Talk.

Model for students the idea that mistakes are just opportunities to learn and grow.  There are no problems, just challenges that require a little more thought.

My Math Lab students are continuously striving to improve their scores on the ALEKS program and are proud when they receive positive feedback from both the program prompts and myself.  When they come across a concept that is challenging, they try their best and refuse to quit.

Grit and Perseverance –I have several  students who constantly press for better grades or additional points on tests. Usually, they approach me like Columbo (sorry young teachers may not know this reference) asking me to justify points deducted. After a bit, they continue to press for clarification.  These students are usually relentless in their pursuit of higher grades and I absolutely love it! It shows me their passion for success, improvement, and ambition.  It also makes me mindful of my grading when tackling their papers! My father’s favorite quote was, “you just can’t teach ambition!” I’d like to figure out how to foster more of it in our students-- growth mindset is very interesting. Loved the Ted Talk,  Sue

Inspiring growth mindset must be done through actions! Do you put numeric grades on papers? or DO you give growth mindset feedback and encourage students to learn from their mistakes? https://bhi61nm2cr3mkdgk1dtaov18-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Day-1-Mindset-8.mp4
