- resources for families who have students that are perfectionists 

- resources or  new ideas to implement in the classroom

-how long, in general, does it take to go from learning/teaching about the concept to when students are starting to apply this in daily life, naturally during social situations?( I am not sure if there is an answer to this question since there are so many variables that could go into play?)

Activities to do with students to practice use of growth mindset.]]> 2019-11-04 02:17:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/u6lggvz8kf5c/wish/406033365 jennifer_gnan https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/u6lggvz8kf5c/wish/424098776 I now have a much greater background knowledge of growth mindset concepts, how the idea grew and what the main characteristics are that make up this life style.

I also learned that it is something that adults and children all can benefit from and is not something that is just taught in two weeks - but it is a lifestyle change and is something that needs to be worked on and practiced constantly. 

I gathered more information and teaching strwategies to help introduce and teach growth mindset. I know I need to teach about the brain, I know I need to teach about mistakes, as well as the power of yet, and what fixed vs. growth mindset looks,sounds and feels.

I gathered a huge bank of book ideas, video ideas, info graphics, as well as great ideas to share with families on tips for helping their children. I also gained the knowledge that I should be sharing this information more with families.

I learned that students need choice, movement, peer to peer teaching/feedback, wait time, struggle time, and challenging work to help me succeed with a growth mindset. Students also need to be able to know  that mistakes are important and it means they are learning. 

This course also solidified my belief in building relationships and a trusting community and how that impacts the ability to teach with a growth mindset.

I also learned the continued importance of wait time, and praising the process with my feedback]]> 2019-12-14 03:44:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/u6lggvz8kf5c/wish/424098776 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/u6lggvz8kf5c/wish/424740634 I learned the importance of wait time.  I now have resources to share with parents and co-workers.  I now view my assessments differently and will be allowing room to learn and grow.  I have resources to refer to, and review as I grow in my practice of growth mindset.  I can see the benefit of having students struggle, which was very hard for me.  Building a safe place to make mistakes and building relationships with students will continue to be a primary focus for me.  All that I learned in this course has shown me the benefits of doing so.

* As the others have said, a good deal of resources and ideas on how to instill the growth mindset into classes.
*The reminder to focus on the process of learning and not the outcoume.
*The reminder to value struggle/challenges/failure as part of the learning process. Without them, there really is no growth.]]> 2019-12-17 19:46:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/u6lggvz8kf5c/wish/425196059 vajohn13 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/u6lggvz8kf5c/wish/425683681 I learned a lot of background information about growth mindsets and fixed mindsets.
