    You can either have a fixed mindset where it is hard for you to grow or a growth mindset where you are open to learning new ideas.

Educating with a growth mindset means understanding that we as educators need to not be afraid to try something new just because we might be afraid it won't work out exactly the way we want it to right away. Try something new, and then try it again and make it better!! It is a great mindset to also pass along to our students. Focus on growth and getting a little better each day and mastery is sure to follow!! ]]> 2019-05-11 03:32:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/3tvg0bgqxqj3/wish/359072978 What I want to know scott_neske https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/3tvg0bgqxqj3/wish/359073090 Better ideas on how best to get students to buy into a growth mindset. In math, it seems like a lot of students have a defeatist attitude about math if they have struggled with it in the past.

  • Since taking this class I have see Carol Dweck’s name everywhere which means that Growth Mindset is here to stay in school systems for the time being. 
  • It works: I already have students and players using this strategy in classrooms and playing fields. Students face a challenge and immediately say to themselves, “I don’t know it YET!”
  • Language is a powerful way to instill a growth mindset into students.

    - Be more self-distanced than self-involved, especially when it comes to tough or stressful situations. 

    -Work hard to change how students view stress, struggle, or confusion. They are valuable aspects to the learning process.

    -The grouping idea of "pairs and squares," which I definitely plan on implementing in some way in my classroom this year. 

    -Work hard to focus on proper wait time, both after posing a question, and after receiving an initial answer. 

    -The "power of yet." A different way to phrase something I already try to instill in my students. One way I say it is "progress...not perfection." 

    -The simple idea of modeling all these great aspects and benefits of a growth mindset. Whether it's our actions, our words, or just our body language, we can have a huge impact on our students views and behaviors. ]]>     2019-06-26 04:54:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/3tvg0bgqxqj3/wish/369221706     What I learned erpalm19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/3tvg0bgqxqj3/wish/369337562 -resources are everywhere if I just look for them
