Encouraging students to have a growth mindset can increase their self esteem and allow them to view themselves as academically competent. 
The following books are also great resources for teachers to help students begin to see themselves in a different light.

Some of the more common roles are below. However, the website also includes roles that may be considered less frequently but still hold value in a group setting. In assigning roles to students, the website includes strategies for implementation and encourages that teachers have role responsibilities readily available for students to review.

"'It changed what math meant. It was a process and it required other people. It wasn’t just you and your work and not talking,' said Maria Velazquez, who now studies education policy at the University of Wisconsin."
The article then goes into more detail, illustrating the key tenets of CI and important takeaways for implementation.

CI Learning should have:
- Differentiated access points
- Norms and roles that support student interdependency and collaboration
- Attention to progress, accountability for learning

As CI encourages teachers to step back and promotes interdependency between group members, observational roles play a vital role in assessing within groups. ]]> 2020-07-06 14:00:38 UTC https://padlet.com/vittlaurenm/q0tvg5aaflj2wpg5/wish/648328088 Implementation, Strategies and Benefits icrmama1 https://padlet.com/vittlaurenm/q0tvg5aaflj2wpg5/wish/648329423 2020-07-06 14:02:17 UTC https://padlet.com/vittlaurenm/q0tvg5aaflj2wpg5/wish/648329423 The Model and Components of CI icrmama1 https://padlet.com/vittlaurenm/q0tvg5aaflj2wpg5/wish/648330199 A brief but detailed overview of complex instruction and its components.
