To improve a school's culture we must adapt, develop, and challenge ourselves in new and engaging ways. To know if change is working towards a successful outcome growth has to be established. The only way to grow is to have an attitude and intention for change! amaceranka https://padlet.com/amaceranka/4dcxhsgovf5te7gi/wish/1389237441 2021-04-06 22:15:52 UTC https://padlet.com/amaceranka/4dcxhsgovf5te7gi/wish/1389237441 Students often think of change as something different in routine, rather than in their learning. They may react to this type of change by displaying unruly behaviors and anxiety. amaceranka https://padlet.com/amaceranka/4dcxhsgovf5te7gi/wish/1389239368 2021-04-06 22:16:36 UTC https://padlet.com/amaceranka/4dcxhsgovf5te7gi/wish/1389239368 Some teachers see change as something different in routine, lessons, schedule, behavior, etc. This can create anxiety and stress. It can also overwhelm teachers to the point where they do not enjoy their profession if they are not willing to change. amaceranka https://padlet.com/amaceranka/4dcxhsgovf5te7gi/wish/1389241994 2021-04-06 22:18:13 UTC https://padlet.com/amaceranka/4dcxhsgovf5te7gi/wish/1389241994 Students and teachers observe growth in learning when looking at grades and data tracking. amaceranka https://padlet.com/amaceranka/4dcxhsgovf5te7gi/wish/1389247902 2021-04-06 22:21:53 UTC https://padlet.com/amaceranka/4dcxhsgovf5te7gi/wish/1389247902 Anything new, or changed, is not necessarily innovative. Growth can not occur without an innovative mindset! As a school community, we must fight our case for why innovation, and teaching students to have a growth mindset, will drastically help set a foundation for excellence in learning. amaceranka https://padlet.com/amaceranka/4dcxhsgovf5te7gi/wish/1389250882 Video: ]]> 2021-04-06 22:23:24 UTC https://padlet.com/amaceranka/4dcxhsgovf5te7gi/wish/1389250882 Students do not tend to seek out opportunities for growth. Teachers must guide students to a growth mindset and change the way students see growth. amaceranka https://padlet.com/amaceranka/4dcxhsgovf5te7gi/wish/1389260460 Video: ]]> 2021-04-06 22:29:16 UTC https://padlet.com/amaceranka/4dcxhsgovf5te7gi/wish/1389260460 Change (such as technology or teaching approach) can be used in the classroom to improve, or regain focus, student success. However, it doesn't mean the students are growing, or retaining, knowledge. amaceranka https://padlet.com/amaceranka/4dcxhsgovf5te7gi/wish/1389265701 2021-04-06 22:32:25 UTC https://padlet.com/amaceranka/4dcxhsgovf5te7gi/wish/1389265701 Growth in the classroom is when the teacher allows the students to lead their own learning. amaceranka https://padlet.com/amaceranka/4dcxhsgovf5te7gi/wish/1389268527 This is a great article on how to infuse the growth mindset in the classroom: https://thecornerstoneforteachers.com/truth-for-teachers-podcast/routines-growth-mindset/

They will feel like they can do anything! amaceranka https://padlet.com/amaceranka/4dcxhsgovf5te7gi/wish/1389293319 2021-04-06 22:49:06 UTC https://padlet.com/amaceranka/4dcxhsgovf5te7gi/wish/1389293319 Growth makes a teacher feel worthy in their profession and eager to create more innovative lessons. With growth, teachers feel proud of the hard work they have put in to creating a successful, happy, and comfortable environment. amaceranka https://padlet.com/amaceranka/4dcxhsgovf5te7gi/wish/1389300816 2021-04-06 22:53:48 UTC https://padlet.com/amaceranka/4dcxhsgovf5te7gi/wish/1389300816 Growth will not look the same everywhere. That is the beauty of the growth mindset! We are able to learn from others when we all have different ideas, thoughts, and strategies to share! amaceranka https://padlet.com/amaceranka/4dcxhsgovf5te7gi/wish/1389322445 2021-04-06 23:08:12 UTC https://padlet.com/amaceranka/4dcxhsgovf5te7gi/wish/1389322445 Change may or may not look the same everywhere. There are thousands of strategies educators could change in their classrooms. However, if change is going to make a difference it must show growth. amaceranka https://padlet.com/amaceranka/4dcxhsgovf5te7gi/wish/1389326231 2021-04-06 23:10:45 UTC https://padlet.com/amaceranka/4dcxhsgovf5te7gi/wish/1389326231 Change and growth are similar in you have to take a chance on something new. The difference is change doesn't create a new way of thinking like growth. amaceranka https://padlet.com/amaceranka/4dcxhsgovf5te7gi/wish/1389390159 2021-04-06 23:50:43 UTC https://padlet.com/amaceranka/4dcxhsgovf5te7gi/wish/1389390159 Growth is a shift in thinking and can be done by just one small change.
