We need to word things so that growth mind-set can occur. I learned that saying, "you're so smart" needs to be rephrased! ]]> 2020-05-02 14:14:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/545605854 Chris Reed https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/545608861 I really want to know how to help the student who shuts down immediately when something seems hard. How do I help that student change their mind-set. We have been stating some mind-growth statements daily but it hasn't helped in like it has helped other students. ]]> 2020-05-02 14:16:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/545608861 Sam Eisenbraun https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/545904260 I know that thinking about things with a growth mindset means that we haven't mastered something yet. It is believing that you can always achieve what your mind wants you to do. I know that it is vastly different than thinking with a fixed mindset.]]> 2020-05-02 18:29:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/545904260 Sam Eisenbraun https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/545905326 I would love to dig deep into how to change the mindset of those "stubborn learners". As a middle school math teacher I run into a lot of students who have their minds made up on their outlook of learning math.

Why does it work to achieve goals?

So, they don't really do classwork and homework. I want to know how I can get my students to start doing classwork and believing that they can do it!]]> 2020-05-03 17:29:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/547261429 Sarah Petersen https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/547391645 When I think of growth mindset I think of working through the hard stuff.

I have had a few students who shut down right away when given just the smallest of feedback. I work with a lot of students with trauma and poverty. They lack self esteem and do not believe in themselves.]]> 2020-05-03 18:55:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/547403652 Rochelle Klamm https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/547801240 When I think about educating with a Growth Mindset I think about everything we are currently doing with teaching online. We are opening up to new ideas and possibilities. Trying something new to reach all learners. The power of yet is often the case with Growth Mindset. ]]> 2020-05-04 00:03:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/547801240 Rochelle Klamm https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/547803856 I would love to learn more strategies for what to do with those students who are stuck and refuse to try new things or to believe they are able to learn.

This means that you continue to work through the challenging times, because you know that is how we make progress. In my class, I like to use the phrase, "We can't do that...YET!"

I currently do things like starting out our day with growth mindset chants as this is a simple way to get that way of thinking in their brain. How else could I incorporate the idea of having a growth mindset into my classroom? I also would like to know what the impact is on student growth if a teacher is continually using these strategies.]]> 2020-05-04 00:45:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/547847628 Jen Petersen https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/547855078 Growth mindset is all about your potential. Realizing that just because you can't do something right now doesn't mean you can't do it, it just means you can't do it YET! Believing in the power of YET!]]> 2020-05-04 00:51:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/547855078 Jen Petersen https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/547862346 I would like some strategies that I implement with my students on a daily basis to help them have a growth mindset. Also, some strategies to help the students who get defeated when they can't do something the first time and don't want to try again.]]> 2020-05-04 00:58:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/547862346 Julie Knuteson https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/547899345 What I know about educating with a growth mindset is that we can think of students as "Yet-i"s. They may believe they are unable to demonstrate a skill, but they need to think of it as they aren't there... yet. Instead of relying on the typical "I can't" mentality students are used to. It's changing how students perceive difficult skills, activities, or expectations. ]]> 2020-05-04 01:28:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/547899345 Julie Knuteson https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/547904433 What I want to know about educating with a growth mindset is how to change a student's belief system of their power of "yet". Often by the time they get to third grade, they believe they have 3+ years of difficulty in a certain curricular area, so why would it change now? How can I reach every student in some way with a positive growth mindset? What do I say? What activities can I do? ]]> 2020-05-04 01:32:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/547904433 Morgan Serstad https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/549327646 I know that educating with a growth mindset includes a lot of "yet" at the end of phrases. It is about training the mind to believe they can do something, they just haven't got the skills yet! 

]]> 2020-05-04 13:50:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/549327646 Morgan Serstad https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/549333935 I would like to know how to help those students that give up and attempt to sit out. I can usually get students back with the group, but they do not give much effort. How do I get them fully engaged to meet their full potential. ]]> 2020-05-04 13:51:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/549333935 Ali Pekarna apekarna https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/549346190 - My school district has been trying to incorporate mini-lessons centered on changing thinking from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset. We have been doing this by having students talk about and create a Personal Growth Plan (PGP). Each month the school takes time to discuss the benefits of having a growth mindset and gives students the opportunity to share success stories seen in their lives.
- I know that it is important to start small. Students, for example, could work to solve creative puzzles and then discuss who they needed a growth mindset to do so.
- This allows students to understand that with hard work and effort they can excel at even the most challenging problems/aspects of life. 
- We tell students that, your brain is like a muscle- when you try challenging things you are exercising your brain to allow it to learn more.

I try to spend Friday’s working on fun growth mindset games and teamwork activities but struggle to make it a daily occurrence unless talking with students one-on-one.
- How can I do a better job of allowing my students to accept set back as a means to grow and learn from?
- How do we remain in the growth mindset? I see both myself and my students shift back and forth between having a fixed and growth mindset.

There is one word that I believe is super important when thinking of a growth mindset and that is "yet." It is important for the students to realize that there is a lot of power in saying "yet." They may not be able to do something "yet" but they will learn.]]> 2020-05-04 15:17:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/549628495 Janae Warfield https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/549637756 I would like to learn more strategies and best practices to appropriately implement growth mindset into my classroom.

Having a growth mindset means you are able to persevere through challenges with resilience, and not give up when things get hard. There is a lot of power in the word "yet".  Educating with a growth mindset means you, as the teacher, believe in the capabilities of each of your students, and choose to engage them in activities that help build their own growth mindsets as well.]]> 2020-05-04 16:22:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/549843260 Marissa Eggerichs mjegge19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/549852648 I would love to learn skills and strategies for reaching the students who come to you with an already fixed mindset. Even at the Kindergarten level I get students who give up as soon as something feels too difficult for them (even if I know they can do it).  It feels that no matter how much I try to fill them with positive mindset words, they are not able to transfer that to their own mindset and self-talk. I would also love to learn some resources (read alouds or other materials) that I can use to help teach growth mindset to my students.]]> 2020-05-04 16:24:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/549852648 Cristina Warfield https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/549858339 I already know that teaching students academics is not as successful if you don't try to meet their SEL needs first. A big part of SEL is the mindset that they have about learning, working on something, etc. A child's attitude can change for the better if they have a positive growth mindset!]]> 2020-05-04 16:26:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/549858339 Sam Stormoen https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/549861217 Educating with a Growth Mindset is teaching students that true effort counts more than skill or "natural born talent." It's teaching students that the brain is a muscle and can change and grow. We teach students to use new strategies or try new things when something isn't working for them. We teach them to "improvise, adapt, and overcome" and that the glory of success follows hard work.  ]]> 2020-05-04 16:27:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/549861217 Cristina Warfield https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/549864779 Something I would like to know is what curriculum or resources are other teachers using to teach and foster their students having and producing a growth mindet?]]> 2020-05-04 16:28:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/549864779 Sam Stormoen https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/549878997 Short of taking each child home with you, going back in time, and re-molding each little brain...How do you instill a growth mindset to inspire intrinsic motivation for ALL students?

I also want to know how to incorporate lessons to teach my students how to have a growth mindset. How do you get students to be intrinsically motivated? How do you get students to believe in themselves when it is not something that comes easily. ]]> 2020-05-04 18:01:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/550134569 Christina McNulty https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/550155946 There are two types of mindsets: fixed and growth.  Growth mindset is believing you can grow and improve, even if you can't do something "yet."  It is important to be aware of your mindset and also understand that you are in control of your mindset. I use picture books to help my students learn about growth mindset and apply it to their own lives.

doing this regularly throughout the school year.  Because of my groups being only 20-30 minutes each, how can I effectively incorporate Growth Mindset while still having time to teach the rest of my lessons?]]> 2020-05-04 18:18:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/550177155 Shari Bishop smbish19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/550962620 I know that when educating with Growth mindset the vocabulary and phrases are important to imbed in student learning and modeled by the teacher.

First, through modeling. We can also use language in the classroom that gets the students using these powerful words everyday, such as YET. Another way to encourage a growth mindset in students is to add posters in the classroom with growth mindset quotes that students can see everyday. ]]> 2020-05-05 17:51:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/552847245 Phylicia (Schindler) Elvestad https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/552858328 I would like to know how to help students when they shut down and they have no motivation to do anymore work.

Growth mindset is the understanding that your intelligence isn't something that you are born with, but instead something that can be nurtured and developed through perseverance and hard work. One of the most important understandings with growth mindset is that it is okay to fail and fall forward. Every time we encounter something challenging, we try our best with our current skill set, and if we don't get it then we are able to learn from our mistakes and are ready to tackle the next challenge! I learned appropriate phrases to help praise the effort, which also helps students with expanding their growth mindset. I collected several learning resources I can use as a parent for myself, a teacher, and resources to send to the families in my class. Growth mindset isn't just one activity to complete and students get it, instead is a shift in our thinking! ]]> 2020-06-07 12:04:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/615092790 What I learned kmobri19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/616120923 I learned that it is important to model growth mindset as the teacher. Be careful to no praise the talent but to praise the effort. Use growth mindset phrases or words in your classroom often and have them up around the room so student use them too. I also learned that as teachers we should take the time to go through the problems that students go wrong so they can learn from their mistakes. Ultimately, I learned that we should always use the word yet with our students.

I learned that words really matter. Praise should be intentional in highlighting the effort or strategy used, and not an innate ability or talent. I learned that wait time is very important and welcomes more voices and participation. I learned that resources should be shared with families so they can reinforce the same ideas at home. Building students up is so important, and modeling a growth mindset is powerful. Lastly, I learned the brain physically changes when we learn and grow, and that there are resources to share with students that can help foster their growth mindsets as well.

The "not yet" approach is so important in all aspects of teaching. The more you can encourage the effort and celebrate the successes, no matter how big or small, make a world of a difference. It reminds me of the other courses I took towards this master's in coaching questions. You have to be a better listener and use guiding questions vs. being the answer giver all the time. Use challenging questions and guiding questions and allow "failure" as an opportunity to succeed next time. As long as you give it your all, you can always set new goals and keep working. The hill is always going to be there, whether it is in education, life or anything you do but keep digging and take setbacks in stride but keep digging!]]> 2020-06-19 05:53:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/633135961 Sarah Petersen- Learned https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/633902319 I learned so much about growth mindset.

As a teacher, I learned that my words matter and more specifically it is how I say something. Many of the say this, not that articles were very helpful for me. I learned that modeling a growth mindset is very important. Modeling what it is like to make mistakes and fail are important, but showing our students how to bounce back from that and continue to grow and keep trying is more important. I learned about the power of yet and how powerful that word is. I also learned about some very important resources that will help parents in fostering a grow mindset at home with their child.

The language we use in the classroom and with our students is so important and can go so far in creating a growth mindset in our students. We need to make sure that we are well, we are resilient, and we have a growth mindset ourselves before we can show up for our students. I learned the importance of teaching about the brain before the students can understand how we grow our brain. I have also reflected on many scenarios and thought about what I would do in myclassroom in that case. I am thankful for everything that I have learned in this class and I am excited to implement the importance of a growth mindset in my classroom. ]]> 2020-06-24 20:30:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/639218793 crwarf19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/641325297 2020-06-26 19:22:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/641325297 Growth Mindset crwarf19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/j13lfthibp8kx685/wish/641325810 Growth Mindset can change the attitude and outlook of all of our students throughout their entire day!
