FALL: Reflection on Testing Your Mindset by Jessica Williams https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/6r63s8fz0oh4 Reflect on your findings and/or feelings after taking the quiz. en-us 2019-08-05 20:49:55 UTC 2019-12-21 15:14:34 UTC hello@padlet.com Self - assessment jxdavi19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/6r63s8fz0oh4/wish/405590294 I completed the self-assessment, and it indicated that I have a strong growth mindset. The answers to the questions that I selected reflected my already existing beliefs in learning which I obtained through both experience and the environment I grew up in - both of my parents were teachers and very supportive.]]> 2019-11-01 18:41:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/6r63s8fz0oh4/wish/405590294 Assessment Results jennifer_gnan https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/6r63s8fz0oh4/wish/405934971 I received a score of 47 which labeled me as a strong growth mindset. I will say, even though I did get a score of 47 there is still room for me to grow. I can get frustrated when I try new things and I run in to multiple obstacles - especially if there are deadlines etc.
Also, negative feedback can be hard for me when I view it as criticism - or if it is coming from a person that I do not has the full story etc.
I do think I strongly have the belief that everyone can learn and continue to improve themselves.

This is not terribly surprising to me because of where I am in my life. I am still young and still figuring things out so it  makes sense to me that I do not have a growth mindset completely. It just means that I have things to work on  and I look forward to learning more through this course.]]> 2019-11-03 19:17:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/6r63s8fz0oh4/wish/405951825 45-60 Your results suggest a strong growth mindset. https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/6r63s8fz0oh4/wish/406034268 This doesn't surprise me too much because growth mindset is a huge part of who I am as a teacher.   I have always had to work hard to achieve good results, it often came easier for my older brother.  This helped me learned that if you put in the work and keep trying you will get there.  I believe each and everyone of my students can be successful given the time and tools they need and that they will all get there, their own way and in their own time.

I feel more confident as a learner and teacher - and I feel like I have a better understanding and identifying exactly what growth mindset means and the actions I need to take as a teacher, wife, mom. 
I still have a personal goal of taking criticism/ negative feedback. However, having better understanding of not having to be perfect and that struggling is a good thing which leads to a positive outcome helps me feel more receptive to it.
It has also helped me be more intentional on the type of feedback I gave verbally and written on student assignments. Making sure I am intentional on praising the process vs. the outcome

My score went up and I was still in the strong growth mindset category. The major change that I noticed is that now I understand why I am scoring in that range. I have a good grasp of what a growth mindset is, the science behind it, and how to hopefully instill it in students.]]> 2019-12-17 15:32:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/6r63s8fz0oh4/wish/425037653 Post-Test Reflection vajohn13 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/6r63s8fz0oh4/wish/425679437 Your Mindset Score is 47. 
45-60 Your results suggest a strong growth mindset.
I went from having some fixed ideas within my mindset to having a strong growth mindset. The major change for me is not that I now have a strong growth mindset, it is that I truly know what that meant and that I understand that just because I have a growth mindset does not mean I will not have some fixed ideas at times or that I do not have to continue to grow. It just means that I now have the tools to teach with a growth mindset and to foster a growth mindset in my students.
