We can't simply just tell students the difference between the two types of mindsets and expect them to all of a sudden have a growth mindset. They need to experience what a growth mindset is to help develop one.

Also, I was reminded about the importance of embracing and celebrating failures. This is a great way for students to progress on their journey towards creating a growth mindset. We can teach students that mistakes or failures are what help our grain to grow stronger and smarter. I also need to work on embracing/celebrating failure as a teacher and a parent. Otherwise I am turning into Tara from last week's fixed mindset scenario where I always expect everything to be perfect! ]]> 2020-05-10 13:26:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/ywrvlm9m4a60o9u5/wish/562670867 jxknut19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/ywrvlm9m4a60o9u5/wish/562686071 What can I do to help students see that there are many ways to help peers in the classroom? Often students just give the answers to one another when they are stuck.

I think many of the parent resources I've read are extremely helpful, but I need to find ways to get these to parents in the future that isn't overwhelming. I see some parents who are struggling with online learning, and these resources would be useful. With only two weeks or so left of our school year, I don't want to overwhelm parents. ]]> 2020-05-10 13:37:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/ywrvlm9m4a60o9u5/wish/562688566 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/ywrvlm9m4a60o9u5/wish/563484517 Failure is okay! As hard as that is to understand, especially in the moment, we need to embrace failing and think "I haven't mastered it yet". Failures help us grow and create problem solving strategies. 
I also like how the articles reminded me that having a growth mindset will take time and is something that we need to always work at. Respect the process!

We have to show them. One way we can do this by posing questions during feedback rather than simply telling them that they did a good job on the assignment. I also learned that I want to start using the term “failing forward” with my students as a way to encourage them that mistakes are a way to strengthen our brain!

I am going to start teaching my students about the brain so they can also see how our brain is a HUGE part of our growth mindset improvement.

Even more than that, we should be teaching them to embrace it and learn from it. Failure isn't necessarily a bad thing, if we asks ourselves what we would do differently. We are learning from the mistakes we made and are better able to succeed next time.]]> 2020-05-11 17:43:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/ywrvlm9m4a60o9u5/wish/565610761 mxadam19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/ywrvlm9m4a60o9u5/wish/565620542 How can I teach students to handle the frustration that comes with failing?

Our words are so powerful and we have such a huge impact on their growth mindset. I love the idea that all students can learn. Productive struggle is good.

This is something we are still working on during distance learning. If they don't even start their work, they can't fail and become strong. I'm sure there are things I can do to help him during distance learning but I'm not entirely sure how.

It is important to live in the 95% and brainstorm our daily blessings. I also learned the importance of teaching about the brain before we can expect our students to understand how a growth mindset works. We need to give our students a productive struggle for them to be able to grow their brain. They need to understand that a struggle is good exercise for their brain and it is the only way the brain grows. ]]> 2020-05-12 20:54:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/ywrvlm9m4a60o9u5/wish/568656070 pxschi19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/ywrvlm9m4a60o9u5/wish/568666748 What are some academic goals (1st and 2nd grade) you set with your students at the beginning of the year?

When they learn about the brain they will then have a better understanding of growth mindset. Growth mindset isn't something that you say you want and you just get, but rather something that needs to be worked toward and developed. I also learn the importance of creating a Credo for myself. Not only will that help me stay more positive but it will also benefit everyone around me including my family and students. ]]> 2020-05-12 22:05:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/ywrvlm9m4a60o9u5/wish/568757781 rlklam19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/ywrvlm9m4a60o9u5/wish/568762064 What do I do with those students who after talking about the fact that it is ok to not do everything perfect (failure) still refuse to accept any form of failure and are afraid to try new things because of this?

Even if it is only for a few minutes. So, then they will have a better understanding of how it works, how it relates to growth mindset, and how they can get a growth mindset.  I also learned that it is okay to make mistakes- this is how to learn and get better at something!

I have a student this year who will literally crumple up his paper and throw it on the ground if he accidentally colors outside of the lines. Group lessons on growth mindset don't do it for him. Would it be more beneficial to find some way to connect with him one on one to teach growth mindset skills?]]> 2020-05-13 01:09:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/ywrvlm9m4a60o9u5/wish/568946545 mjegge19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/ywrvlm9m4a60o9u5/wish/568949364 I would like some lesson ideas for Kindergarten.
