EDU 574 9-17-16 by Linda Laughlin https://padlet.com/llaughlin/EDU574 en-us 2016-09-17 12:41:46 UTC 2026-01-27 19:36:03 UTC hello@padlet.com Morgan and I discussed "fixed mindset" as being the belief--typically held by a student--that he/she "can't learn" and that his/her intelligence and learning ability are pre-determined and cannot be changed. Students with fixed mindsets avoid challenges, constructive feedback, and anything that feels uncomfortable because it doesn't come easily. This mindset also reveals a lot about the student's own insecurities, anxieties, and fears about themselves (not just their own learning). https://padlet.com/llaughlin/EDU574/wish/124529860 -Helana]]> 2016-09-17 18:38:14 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/EDU574/wish/124529860 Growth Mindset- https://padlet.com/llaughlin/EDU574/wish/124529907 * flexible thinking

Is inspired by other's success to become empowered for their own future.


]]> 2016-09-17 18:41:37 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/EDU574/wish/124529976 Pat, Fixed mindset relates to the fact that an individual believes that he or she cannot do something and therefore cannot move on. Has a fear of failure before he or she even begins. A fixed mindset believes that he or she will never know how do do something and therefore there is no reason to even try. He or she waits to be told what to do, fears taking risks. https://padlet.com/llaughlin/EDU574/wish/124529995 2016-09-17 18:42:11 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/EDU574/wish/124529995 Sally- Fixed Mindset is the creation of a static definition of what you know and who you are and what you can learn.  You don't see the benefits of learning from new challenges and experiences. https://padlet.com/llaughlin/EDU574/wish/124530049 2016-09-17 18:43:58 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/EDU574/wish/124530049 BJ- Growth Mindset is an acknowledgement of the fluid and flexible nature of what you know and who you are, and the value of learning from challenges. https://padlet.com/llaughlin/EDU574/wish/124530081 2016-09-17 18:45:01 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/EDU574/wish/124530081 Growth Mindset sarah_sparks https://padlet.com/llaughlin/EDU574/wish/124530100 Trish, Sarah and Sarah

If you are "bad" at something, you always will be. Avoids challenges. Blames others for difficulties. Avoids change. Fears the growth of another--does not like being overshadowed. Takes criticism personally.

People have inherent abilities and are defined by them but also are limited by them.

But now I think - that students need time to reflect on whether they met those targets]]> 2016-09-17 19:08:06 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/EDU574/wish/124530879 BJ william_j_burns https://padlet.com/llaughlin/EDU574/wish/124530883 I used to think that that demonstrating proficiency was the same thing as demonstrating mastery in PBE, but now I think that demonstrating proficiency is not as demanding as mastery.]]> 2016-09-17 19:08:13 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/EDU574/wish/124530883 Lauren- lsroka https://padlet.com/llaughlin/EDU574/wish/124530887 I used to think that changing in my classroom was an independent venture (solo task, my responsibility), but now I think bringing others in to change my classroom is a better way to initiate change.]]> 2016-09-17 19:08:15 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/EDU574/wish/124530887 Sarah S. sarah_sparks https://padlet.com/llaughlin/EDU574/wish/124530889 I used to think PBE was a huge undertaking but now I think that if I go back to basics and think about it as what is ideal for the learner that will help focus my work.

I also thought that some of the Fixed Mindset ideas were partially valid but now I see they are not at all. However, bringing that concept to others will be challenging.]]> 2016-09-17 19:08:35 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/EDU574/wish/124530901 I used to think that student learning was mostly connected to learner styles such as visual or tactile, but now I think that student learning has more to with mindset, gritand a student's worldview. -Helana https://padlet.com/llaughlin/EDU574/wish/124530903 2016-09-17 19:08:38 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/EDU574/wish/124530903 I used to think that high school teachers would have an easier time of integrating learning and making it meaningful for learners. But, now I think that every teacher faces challenges with making learning meaningful for their students' lives and career paths. https://padlet.com/llaughlin/EDU574/wish/124530942 Sherry :)
