What is it?
- Growth Mindset is the belief that students (intelligence, personality, character) can be continuously developed. True potential is unknown and unknowable.
Why do I find it Impactful?
- Such knowledge and belief impacts the way I motivate my students to learn and find their true potential. 
How will it impact my practice?
- Students are encouraged when they believe they can grow, build character and develop their intelligence and personality. Students will:
 - have the desire to continuous learning, 
 - confront uncertainties,
 - embrace challenges, 
 - not afraid to fail,
 - put effort to learn
 - feedback is about current capabilities.

What is it?
- defined as "thinking about thinking" or in other words, understanding your own thinking and learning processes.
- one's ability to use prior knowledge to play a strategy for approaching a learning task, take necessary steps to problem solving, reflect on and evaluate results, and modify one's approach as needed. 
- ability to choose the right cognitive tool for the task leading to successful learning. 
Why I find it impactful?
- It is important that I as the educator recognizes personal variable of my students, their strengths and weaknesses so that I know how to help them process information and learn better. 
How it will impact my practice?
- It will be easy to strategize and set procedures for my students to be ready to accomplish each task. Giving them as much information before they are handed the task. They are able to reflect on the prior information and knowledge they've gained to complete a task successfully.]]> 2021-08-09 23:58:33 UTC https://padlet.com/10794817/yxcn3fm4oakoar4k/wish/1673440870 10794817 https://padlet.com/10794817/yxcn3fm4oakoar4k/wish/1673450438 https://www.simplypsychology.org/behaviorism.html
https://www.khanacademy.org/test-prep/mcat/behavior/learning-slug/a/classical-and-operant-conditioning-article

What is it?
- the idea of behaviorism is that learning consists of a change in behavior due to the acquisition, reinforcement and application of associations between stimuli from the environment and observable responses of the individual. 
Why do I find it impactful?
- It helps me as a teacher to have some type of way to measure and recognize the changes in behavior of my students.
How will it impact my practice?
- When I understand the different behaviors of my students towards learning, I can provide responses to encourage positive behavior. Consistency is the key; rewarding the right parts of the complex behavior reinforces it. ]]> 2021-08-10 00:11:03 UTC https://padlet.com/10794817/yxcn3fm4oakoar4k/wish/1673450438 10794817 https://padlet.com/10794817/yxcn3fm4oakoar4k/wish/1673459166 https://sites.duke.edu/fasd/chapter-5-the-fasd-student-and-learning-issues/effective-strategies-for-information-processing-and-memory-difficulties/

What is it?
- learning is understood as the acquisition of knowledge: the learner is an information-processor who absorbs information, undertakes cognitive operations on it, and stock it in memory. 
Why do I find it impactful?
- I don't think this is the best way to help students maintain information, but there are people/students who learn better this way. It helps students to understand how memory works and they can evaluate themselves as to what best way for them to learn.
How will it impact my practice?
- There are students who learns to make sense of information after they memorize and reflect on them later. Their sensory memory have a very large capacity to process information, then their working memory is activated leading to an unlimited storage capacity in their long term memory. This is where information becomes permanent, which is a huge advantage for students when it comes to testing and other assessments. ]]> 2021-08-10 00:22:06 UTC https://padlet.com/10794817/yxcn3fm4oakoar4k/wish/1673459166 10794817 https://padlet.com/10794817/yxcn3fm4oakoar4k/wish/1673465230 What is it?
- Learning is about observing others. People learn within a social context and that learning is facilitated through concepts such as modeling, observational learning and imitation.  
Why do I find it impactful?
- It is important to me that I model my expectations of my students, especially when it comes to what I value in disciplining my students in not only to become educated but also as respectful human beings. 
How will it impact my practice?
- It motivates my students to be positive and recognize the rewards of believing in themselves when they see that I model the same belief. When this happens, teaching and classroom management will become less difficult. They will know that my intentions are to help and motivate them to become the best that they can.

What is it?
- Learning is about gaining real-world experiences. Students actively construct their knowledge in interaction with the environment and through the reorganization of their mental structures.
Why do I find this impactful?
- I believe that students are very capable young people. As long as I help facilitate and provide experiences, they become exposed to all sorts of feelings and knowledge they will ask the questions themselves. 
How will this impact my practice?
- Creating environments and experiences that trigger questions and learning will be part of my practice. Significant learning is most likely to occur and to last when it is self-initiated. Learning is about meaningful experiences-in everyday life-that lead to a change in individuals knowledge and behavior.]]> 2021-08-10 01:03:54 UTC https://padlet.com/10794817/yxcn3fm4oakoar4k/wish/1673494830 10794817 https://padlet.com/10794817/yxcn3fm4oakoar4k/wish/1673525628 What is it?
- Learning is about making connections across networks.
- theoretical framework for understanding learning in a digital age. 
Why I find it impactful?
- Technology has evolved and it is the base of learning at this age and time. Utilizing technology as a resource for students to use will be very impactful to their learning.
How will it impact my practice?
- Networking and forming connections go hand in hand with what we've learned from our own experiences. Technology will be impactful to my students learning but also mine as the educator. We may not be able to experience everything, but we can learn from the experiences of others. Many of these experiences and knowledge are found on computer networks, power grids and social networks. ]]> 2021-08-10 01:33:29 UTC https://padlet.com/10794817/yxcn3fm4oakoar4k/wish/1673525628 10794817 https://padlet.com/10794817/yxcn3fm4oakoar4k/wish/1673549536 What is it?
- Assessment help us understand how well our students are learning what teachers teach them. 
- Assessment refers to the wide variety of methods or tools that educators use to evaluate, measure and document the academic readiness, learning progress, skill acquisition or educational needs of students. 
Why do I find this impactful?
- There is no use of teaching and giving students tasks to perform, setting goals and expectations when there is no way to know if learning is not happening. Assessments help both educator and students know that their efforts are put to good use and if there are results.
How will this impact my practice?
- Knowing the right type of assessment to evaluate each task will produce the proper measurement and result. Assessments will also help me determine if lessons are to continue or students need more time to understand specific concepts, theories, process etc. ]]> 2021-08-10 01:56:21 UTC https://padlet.com/10794817/yxcn3fm4oakoar4k/wish/1673549536 10794817 https://padlet.com/10794817/yxcn3fm4oakoar4k/wish/1673555974 What is it?
- a scoring guide used to evaluate performance, a product or a project. It defines what is expected and what will be assessed. It indicates that individuals will be evaluated according to specific criteria; this makes grading and ranking simpler, transparent and fair.
Why do I find it impactful?
- This takes serious consideration as to what exactly is expected from students in an assignment, project etc. I find this impactful as students will learn to follow direct instructions, reach expectations as they are set on purpose for their learning and produce the results expected. 
How will it impact my practice?
- Clear rubrics help students understand my expectations on tasks. This impacts my practice as rubrics allow no grey areas for questioning or complaints about unfairness. Results will clearly depict students understanding and work ethics as they will all follow the same rubric. ]]> 2021-08-10 02:01:44 UTC https://padlet.com/10794817/yxcn3fm4oakoar4k/wish/1673555974 10794817 https://padlet.com/10794817/yxcn3fm4oakoar4k/wish/1673649979 What is it?
- information given to the learner(or teacher) about the learner's performance relative to learning goals or outcomes. It should aim towards improvement in students' learning. 
Why do I find it impactful?
- Feedback is part facilitating learners; guiding their learning towards the right direction. Specific feedback impacts students to know exactly what needs attention in their learning and work to improve or make better.
How will it impact my practice?
- Students will understand specific goals to set according to the feedbacks they are given. Feedback will help them engage and be motivated to put in the hard work required to implement feedback. Once students understand the importance of improving in a specific area, the motivation to improve will follow naturally. ]]> 2021-08-10 03:40:19 UTC https://padlet.com/10794817/yxcn3fm4oakoar4k/wish/1673649979 10794817 https://padlet.com/10794817/yxcn3fm4oakoar4k/wish/1673680378 What is it?
- Piaget's theory centers on the idea that children are active and motivated learners. He advocated 'cognitive constructivism' which means that students create their own meaning through interaction with the environment. Social interaction with peers of a similar development level is important because it helps children figure things out. 
Why do I find it impactful?
- I agree with Piaget's theory; children are active and motivated learners. If I help them organize their knowledge in their heads, they will adapt well and quickly. 
How will it impact my practice?
- Understanding Piaget's stages will help me take the correct steps and plan well for the appropriate age group to assimilate and accommodate new information into their schema. From making gut decisions and not understanding other people's perspective to being able to reason about things they become familiar with to reasoning with concepts they have no experience with. This is how they learn to accommodate through deductive logic and abstract thinking. ]]> 2021-08-10 04:12:59 UTC https://padlet.com/10794817/yxcn3fm4oakoar4k/wish/1673680378 10794817 https://padlet.com/10794817/yxcn3fm4oakoar4k/wish/1673703368 What is it?
- views human development as a socially mediated process in which children acquire their cultural values, beliefs and problem-solving strategies through collaborative dialogues with more knowledgeable members of society.
Why do I find it impactful?
- Vygotsky's theory is impactful in recognizing all areas that contribute to developing each student. Their upbringing and social interactions contribute to what they value and their priorities in learning. This is impactful in knowing myself as well as the educator and what I value so I can be a positive model to my students.
How will it impact my practice?
- 'UBUNTU' which means 'I am because we are' in the Xhosa culture is a great example of how students develop their values, cultures and beliefs. As mentioned, this applies to myself as an educator; what do I value and what do I expect from my students? To understand the diversity of personalities in my classroom and being aware of all the areas that contribute to building these personalities, lesson plans, assessments, rubrics and tasks are planned accordingly so that learning becomes encouraging and fun.]]> 2021-08-10 04:39:14 UTC https://padlet.com/10794817/yxcn3fm4oakoar4k/wish/1673703368 10794817 https://padlet.com/10794817/yxcn3fm4oakoar4k/wish/1673730485 What is it?
- Neurobiologically, students can't learn if they don't feel safe, known and cared for within their schools. Unexpected responses from students due to childhood trauma. Triggers that may cause students to behave in ways that may interfere with teaching and learning. 
Why do I find it impactful?
- It is important that an educator is mindful and considerate of students when behaving in ways that interrupts teaching and learning. It can be frustrating, but teachers must explore all reasons and backgrounds of such behavior before reacting. This might not be the best solution to the problem. 
How will it impact my practice?
- As an educator, it's important to read and recognize behavior that may be caused by trauma. It is also important to know and perform strategies that will help calm students down or know events, actions, scenes etc that may be triggers to avoid. Make a list and study them so it becomes a natural reaction when a student is triggered. Again, it is difficult for a student to learn if he/she does not feel safe within the school or classroom.]]> 2021-08-10 05:10:18 UTC https://padlet.com/10794817/yxcn3fm4oakoar4k/wish/1673730485 10794817 https://padlet.com/10794817/yxcn3fm4oakoar4k/wish/1673761721 https://www.edtpa.com/Content/Docs/edTPAMGC.pdf
https://www.thoughtco.com/strategies-for-building-rapport-with-students-3194262
What is it?
- Recognizing and utilizing the diverse backgrounds, values, cultures and assets that each student bring to class.
Why do I find this impactful?
- Culturally responsive teaching (CRT) is an approach to connecting students' cultures, languages and life experiences with what they learn in school. This is impactful as these are things that are familiar to students and will help them connect, relate and learn better. 
How will it impact my practice?
- Multiculturalism is an asset. This opens a variety of strategies, activities, assessments etc that will help students understand what is taught by using what they already know, experienced and way of life. When students realize that their cultures are important in my classroom, they will feel safe, this becomes a huge step of building rapport, taking teaching and learning to the next level. ]]> 2021-08-10 05:49:14 UTC https://padlet.com/10794817/yxcn3fm4oakoar4k/wish/1673761721
