"brain differences [that] children are born with are no where near as important as the brain growth experiences they have throughout life" and that "mathematics more than any other subject, has the power to crush students' spirits, and many adults do not move on from mathematics experiences in school if they are negative".  I consider myself a teacher of math but I also need remember that it may not be a student's skills that need improvement but moreso a change in mindset to see meaningful and lasting growth.

A quote I valued:  'The very best opportunities come about when students believe in themselves.'

pg. 6
'...students with a growth mindset have more positive brain activity when they make mistakes, with more brain regions lighting up and more attention to and correcting of errors.'  --- I had a lot of missed opportunities in the classroom because I avoided the students' mistakes instead of leveraging them.

A quote that I reflected on in chapter 1 was: "No one is born knowing math, and no one is born lacking the ability to learn math."

I find this attitude hard to change, especially with girls. It is something I have to battle everyday.
