It helps to shape their growth mindset that their brain can stretch and grow, they can learn from their mistakes, and their effort is what is important.

When a students now says to me "I can't do it," I can comeback with "not yet..." and help that student set a goal to achieve success. I also think it's important to focus praise on effort rather than, say, innate intelligence or talents because it will help all students work harder and show them that I appreciate all of the hard work they are doing. That's the key to making progress!]]> 2020-06-11 03:16:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/vhgw2bfv4ryrec4e/wish/621753337 sjbabb19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/vhgw2bfv4ryrec4e/wish/621755737 For starters, I plan on printing a lot of the resources that have been provided to us in this course.

I will begin implementing growth mindset lessons into the 2020-2021 school year and continue doing so from this point forward both in my professional and personal life.

By making the praise more specific students are able to continue the learning process instead of ending with empty praise.

In PE, some students just are not strong enough yet to complete various activities. I do not want them to think they can't and never will. By praising their effort that will encourage them to keep trying. ]]> 2020-06-15 04:23:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/vhgw2bfv4ryrec4e/wish/626646632 masers19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/vhgw2bfv4ryrec4e/wish/626646886 I will be putting various effort phrases into my powerpoints which guide my class.

If I say something like, "You are so smart!" it gives the impression that they have met the goal and no further work is needed.

These comments are generic and have very little meaning. When we can praise them on their effort they are more willing to put in the work the next time and be proud of what they have accomplished. ]]> 2020-06-16 19:29:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/vhgw2bfv4ryrec4e/wish/629484692 rlklam19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/vhgw2bfv4ryrec4e/wish/629486719 I will really work on using the list of resources for what to say instead of saying other things.

As a choir teacher, I will lessen praise for students' natural ability. I will be much more intentional (and relentless) about praising the process of learning music. I will celebrate big mistakes made in class and make sure students feel comfortable making those mistakes. Also important is to intentionally recognize what we can learn from our mistakes.]]> 2020-06-16 19:47:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/vhgw2bfv4ryrec4e/wish/629504457 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/vhgw2bfv4ryrec4e/wish/629510713 Praising the process of learning helps students see the value in working hard. If I can intentionally and effectively teach this way, I will foster an environment bursting with musical work ethic. By celebrating mistakes, I will permit students to take risks without fear of "Getting it wrong". ]]> 2020-06-16 19:53:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/vhgw2bfv4ryrec4e/wish/629510713 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/vhgw2bfv4ryrec4e/wish/629521642 I am going to post my goals as a reminder for myself and stick to a routine.

On the other hand, if we consistently praise the effort, work, or strategies they used, they will attribute their success to their effort and be more willing to work hard in the future and take on challenges.]]> 2020-06-17 13:33:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/vhgw2bfv4ryrec4e/wish/630555241 mjegge19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/vhgw2bfv4ryrec4e/wish/630558048 In order to create this new habit, I will print off the "what to say vs what not to say" resource and hang it up by my desk or somewhere that will remind me to be intentional in my words. I can add to the list as well. I could also write "be intentional in your words" on a sticky note and stick it to my computer at school.

I will try to intentionally use growth mindset words not just with my students, but with all of those around me. I spend a lot of time with my 2 year old niece, and will begin using growth mindset language with her. I will definitely implement this in the 2020-2021 school year with my second graders.

Looking back now, I know there are a handful of kids who did awesome in distance learning and could have done do much better face to face that they could have slipped through the cracks and vise-versa.

The implementations I tried the last 2 years in this program will be HUGE. Allowing choice and the relationship building with all my kids will be a big part. letting them know and even engaging in activities with them showing that it is ok if you are not the best will be a big part as well.

My thoughts are, you are never to late, early or prime to learn from those who have learned themselves.

I also want to tie this into goal setting and discussing that we have to walk before we run; things aren't going to happen overnight, and that's where our patience and perseverance comes into play.

I have thought about creating or finding a poster that says, "Progress, not perfection" because I think that would be a helpful reminder for my students and me as we work day in and day out.
