We often rely on the status quo to avoid disrupting what we feel has been working for us for years. For students they learn a fixed mindset when we insist on things like teaching to the test, compliance in the classroom. 
We often develop both a fixed mindset and a growth mindset depending on the situation.  Some changes have caused us no pain and even brought us joy even though it required a level of effort and difficulty.  Other times we have a fixed mindset.  When we have a fixed mindset changes can be perceived as utterly horrible and effort and difficulty can overwhelm us.  In order to move forward with an innovators mindset we must believe as Couros does that growth, innovation and happiness rely on change for both learners/educators.]]> 2023-06-11 18:42:08 UTC https://padlet.com/lmcrocket/lo7hfwha3ymaush6/wish/2620328195 lmcrocket https://padlet.com/lmcrocket/lo7hfwha3ymaush6/wish/2620345874 Change is deeply personal. The sooner we as people understand how, we ourselves react to change the better we will be at helping others through their "change journey". I wonder if George and Jim know each other.  In this video Hemerling discusses the five most important aspects that we can enact to empower individuals to embrace change. Putting people first by way of going all in, instilling a culture of continuous learning, and realizing that fixed mindsets do not serve anyone. ]]> 2023-06-11 19:35:39 UTC https://padlet.com/lmcrocket/lo7hfwha3ymaush6/wish/2620345874 lmcrocket https://padlet.com/lmcrocket/lo7hfwha3ymaush6/wish/2620359842 Here is another example of how leaders in education can provide instruments of growth.
Remember this guy. I think each professor and each class I had at Lindenwood relied on Lemov. I would go as far as to say it was the bible, for many. For me Teach like a Champion was for the teacher.  It focused on the strategies that the teacher puts in place as they developed and strengthened classroom management styles.  Maybe this may not of been your experience with the book but it was mine.  I liked it, I think it has some really good strategies.  
So I was surprised to see that he has a new book out called "Reconnect: Building School Culture for Meaning, Purpose, and Belonging". This book discusses the evolutionary importance of connection and belonging to human well being, the implications of technology and the case studies that support the importance of social emotional learning.  ]]> 2023-06-11 20:16:10 UTC https://padlet.com/lmcrocket/lo7hfwha3ymaush6/wish/2620359842 lmcrocket https://padlet.com/lmcrocket/lo7hfwha3ymaush6/wish/2620360997 We all want change, but we get offensive when were asked to do the changing, therefore its very important we choose leaders who can stay grounded and engage and empower us.]]> 2023-06-11 20:19:56 UTC https://padlet.com/lmcrocket/lo7hfwha3ymaush6/wish/2620360997 lmcrocket https://padlet.com/lmcrocket/lo7hfwha3ymaush6/wish/2620363728 This article discusses how one parent reacted to change at her sons school and how she handled it in order to help her child succeed. ]]> 2023-06-11 20:28:14 UTC https://padlet.com/lmcrocket/lo7hfwha3ymaush6/wish/2620363728 lmcrocket https://padlet.com/lmcrocket/lo7hfwha3ymaush6/wish/2620364726 This article discusses the importance of empowering our teachers by putting systems in practice before the crisis happens.

This article and video is beneficial for leaders who to explore the nuances of change. This model seems applicable for teachers.  I am not sure if it would be able to be implemented with student bodies that exceed 100.  ]]> 2023-06-11 20:44:47 UTC https://padlet.com/lmcrocket/lo7hfwha3ymaush6/wish/2620368816 lmcrocket https://padlet.com/lmcrocket/lo7hfwha3ymaush6/wish/2620371795 When I read this I thought about how these strategies can be used when introducing new material. The amount of information that we expect kids to know can be overwhelming for them if we approach it from a fixed mindset. If we adapt our lesson plans to offer kids the opportunity to reflect, respond, and work with their peers I think they can easily adapt a growth mindset. ]]> 2023-06-11 20:55:41 UTC https://padlet.com/lmcrocket/lo7hfwha3ymaush6/wish/2620371795 lmcrocket https://padlet.com/lmcrocket/lo7hfwha3ymaush6/wish/2620393585 2023-06-11 22:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/lmcrocket/lo7hfwha3ymaush6/wish/2620393585 lmcrocket https://padlet.com/lmcrocket/lo7hfwha3ymaush6/wish/2620402685 This article discusses three actions we can take as professionals to grow as a teacher.  Providing meaningful lesson plans, accepting feedback from educators, adding credentials to our resume, and participating in the community where we teach. ]]> 2023-06-11 22:53:04 UTC https://padlet.com/lmcrocket/lo7hfwha3ymaush6/wish/2620402685 lmcrocket https://padlet.com/lmcrocket/lo7hfwha3ymaush6/wish/2620403936 Missouri State Teaches Association is a great resource to grow as a professional teacher.  I became a student member this year.  https://msta.org/ The professional learning page includes a wealth of information.

This is when the change happens experiencing things from the eyes of those we serve. We can then thoughtfully apply those lived experiences to our processes of engagement and empowerment. ]]> 2023-06-11 23:12:14 UTC https://padlet.com/lmcrocket/lo7hfwha3ymaush6/wish/2620408139 lmcrocket https://padlet.com/lmcrocket/lo7hfwha3ymaush6/wish/2620410832 This article talks about the importance of self-care for teachers and self-care in the classroom.
