I am very excited to delve deeper into helping kids develop their growth mindset. This year, I am focusing my classroom counseling lessons all around mindsets and helping kids realize they have the power to train and grow their brains. One of the ideas I love most about it is that it approaches this idea of struggle and difficulty as times that stretch and grow our minds. I see so much power in the realization that struggle is okay and can be very beneficial when we approach it through this growth mindset!

This is my 16th year of teaching. I've been at Alpine for 3 years and this is my second year teaching First Grade. I started a 'self-study' of Mathematical Mindsets this past summer. My initial interest in the subject was spurred by the fact that I was part of the Elementary Math Curriculum Adoption Committee last year and I'm piloting the new curriculum this year. Math is a delicate topic for students, teachers, and parents alike. I wanted to explore approaches that make it less 'scary' for all. As changes are inherently hard, changes in math can compound that difficulty.
