I also need to be ok with making mistakes. I am not using my full potential and I have to put myself out there. ]]> 2020-06-08 06:10:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/616154277 kmobri19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/616157160 It means to be ok with making mistakes, failing but getting back up and trying again. It means being ok with not knowing everything but continuing to try anyway. It means knowing that we can all do hard things even if we can't do them YET it doesn't mean that we won't ever be able to do it.  A growth mindset is the ability to believe that you can do all things with hard work and effort.

People with a fixed mindset do not like challenging things and have a hard time handling criticism. ]]> 2020-06-08 06:19:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/616165165 kmobri19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/616169020 It is important to have a growth mindset because we need to model this mindset for our students. Having a growth mindset ourselves also helps us believe in the abilities of all of our students. It reinforces my beliefs that with hard work and effort you can achieve your goals. It is important that we help children understand this as well.

I also believe this process and the outcomes are different for all students, but I definitely believe that all students can learn.  Some learning may take longer for some students than it does for others.

I will also use the posters that have the growth mindset phrases on them. I would use these phrase in the classroom often so the kids would use them as well. I think I would also take the time to go over the mistakes that students made on their tests and have them fix them. I will work harder at displaying a growth mindset and using the words that promote a growth mindset in students.

I have shifted to make this a priority in my classroom.

I'm not afraid of a challenge and I believe mistakes are part of learning! ]]> 2020-06-10 15:32:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/620953000 cereed19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/620958246 I have the ability to increase my intelligence by learning and hard work. I like a challenge and can persevere when things get hard. Making mistakes is part of the process and that's OK. I can do hard things. This is what I want to teach my students. We learn from our mistakes. We might not be able to do something "YET" but eventually we will. ]]> 2020-06-10 15:35:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/620958246 cereed19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/620968736 Having a fixed mindset means you will never get smarter. Things are always going to be hard. You might be afraid to try something because it looks hard. It really is the "I can't do it" mentality. ]]> 2020-06-10 15:41:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/620968736 cereed19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/620980658 As a teacher, if we can help all of our students have a growth mindset, just imagine what they can do with their lives! We can see the potential in all of our students. We can challenge them in their learning. We can model a growth mindset in the classroom. As a mentor, we can have open, honest conversations about what it looks like and sounds like. We can look at ways to improve our growth mindset. ]]> 2020-06-10 15:47:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/620980658 sjbabb19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/621729541 I dsco]]> 2020-06-11 02:45:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/621729541 sjbabb19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/621732985 Upon taking the quiz, I discovered that my growth mindset has definitely improved since taking the quiz at the beginning of this course. I also discovered that I still don't handle criticism super well, especially when I've worked hard on something. I plan to improve on not beating myself up for mistakes, but rather learning from my mistakes and finding the value in them when it comes to making progress.]]> 2020-06-11 02:50:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/621732985 sjbabb19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/621736000 To me, having a growth mindset means understanding that there is always room to improve. Through dedication, hard work, and perseverance, anything is possible. Learning from mistakes is critical in making progress, goal setting is crucial, and challenges shouldn't be feared. If we don't know something, it's not because we are dumb and can't ever learn it. It just means we aren't quite there YET, but we can do it if we keep pushing ourselves to improve as learners.]]> 2020-06-11 02:54:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/621736000 sjbabb19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/621739221 A fixed mindset is believing that every trait we encompass is fixed and can't be changed or improved upon. It's the idea that "this is as good as it gets." With a fixed mindset, there is always room for excuses and challenges aren't tackled because what's missing is the belief in oneself.]]> 2020-06-11 02:58:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/621739221 sjbabb19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/621741409 As educators, it is our job to believe in every student's potential. It is our job to instill that same belief within our students. We must foster a supportive environment for our students and teach them that anything is possible with the right mindset. If we don't show them the importance in dedication and perseverance, we're limiting their achievement level...and that is not cool at all. Our students need to envision their own potential and understand that there is value in learning from mistakes and always room to improve.]]> 2020-06-11 03:01:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/621741409 sjbabb19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/621744223 Yes, of course I do! If anything, this course has taught me the importance in understanding that student success does not boil down to innate talents and intelligence -- everyone can learn and make progress with hard work and the right mindset. Every child in my classroom can reach incredible heights by believing in themselves, setting goals, learning from mistakes, pushing through obstacles, and developing a growth mindset. ]]> 2020-06-11 03:05:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/621744223 sjbabb19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/621747038 Well, the thing that got me the most excited was watching how Mrs. Hunt structured her math class. I definitely will be implementing those ideas into my math classes next year. I also love the tips for building confidence in kids. I also will help parents see the importance in developing a growth mindset as best as I can. I now have lots of resources I can use in achieving these things and I am excited about it.]]> 2020-06-11 03:08:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/621747038 sjbabb19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/621749054 I now have a firm grasp on what growth mindset truly means. My mindset has shifted by now understanding that a lack of innate talents and skills isn't an excuse to not achieve success. Hard work and perseverance goes a long ways and I am excited to use all of the ideas I've learned in this course in helping each of my students develop a growth mindset from this point forward.]]> 2020-06-11 03:11:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/621749054 smbish19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/622766010 The area that I need to work on is not to be too hard on myself when I make mistakes.

You use feedback, whether related to strengths or weaknesses, to accept, reflect, and make any changes. You know that challenge means opportunities to grow. ]]> 2020-06-11 16:26:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/622769251 smbish19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/622773345 Have a fixed mindset is not being open to change and becoming a better version of yourself.

It can also mean avoidance of difficult or new tasks.]]> 2020-06-11 16:28:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/622773345 smbish19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/622777097 Having a growth mindset as an educator is crucial. Learning and the education world is always changing and there is always more to learn and apply. Building on your strengths and identifying ways to improve not only helps you to be a better educator, but allows your students to be more successful in learning. Having this mindset can be influential for colleagues and the culture in the building.]]> 2020-06-11 16:31:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/622777097 smbish19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/622782953 All students are capable of learning.

I strongly believe in teaching a growth mindset with my students. I plan to use the unit I designed to be intentionally about their learning and continue to build the language of growth. I plan to build more home/school connections around the language and provide better feedback and praise to my students.]]> 2020-06-11 16:36:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/622785609 smbish19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/622789509 I have seen a great shift in my journey to be more resilient.

This will allow for me to continue to build up my growth mindset. Moving forward, I am already thinking of areas I want to improve on for the fall and have started researching and planning a little bit!]]> 2020-06-14 11:54:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/625820077 jxknut19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/625822242 A growth mindset is when you increase your intelligence by learning and you aren’t afraid of a good challenge! One of the best ways to learn is by working hard and being okay if, and when, you make mistakes, that’s part of the learning process! We learn from our mistakes and use them to guide us as we build resilience and persistence as life long learners! ]]> 2020-06-14 11:57:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/625822242 jxknut19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/625824131 A fixed mindset is believing that your intelligence cannot change. You were born that way and that is just the way it is. You don’t like being challenged and have a hard time making mistakes. It is difficult for a person with a fixed mindset to receive constructive  criticism. ]]> 2020-06-14 11:59:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/625824131 jxknut19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/625826571 An educator needs to believe that ALL students can learn and change their level of intelligence. We need to be able to model growth mindset for our students. Also, we need to understand mistakes and struggles are something to celebrate because it makes students grow! Don’t shy away from creating challenging content, it is what our students need! As a mentor, you can show your mentees that everyone has a growth mindset. Even as a veteran teacher, we are still working hard and challenging ourselves to be better! We are in this together! ]]> 2020-06-14 12:03:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/625826571 jxknut19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/625829087 Yes yes yes! All students can learn! Students all develop and grow intellectually at different rates and different times throughout the year. It is so important to set goals with students to create individual targets to work towards. Not everyone should have the exact same goals because none of the students are the exact same person. It is an educator’s role to meet students with where they are at and raise them to the next level of expectations through collaborative goal setting!]]> 2020-06-14 12:06:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/625829087 jxknut19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/625830689 I want to make sure I am implementing the second wait time. Also, I am going to work really hard on making sure I am praising the effort more consistently. I need to do a better job of letting students know that mistakes are expected and the importance of struggling to help our brain grow! I also need to teach them the idea of a growth mindset! ]]> 2020-06-14 12:08:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/625830689 jxknut19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/625832408 Before this class, I had limited understanding of what a growth mindset was. Now, I have 8 weeks of resources to use right away in my classroom and share with others! I am excited to use my growth mindset unit plan next year in the classroom. I now understand how important it is to build growth mindset with my students and my own children ! ]]> 2020-06-14 12:10:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/625832408 apekarna https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/628051419 The biggest thing that I would like to continue to improve upon is being okay with making mistakes! I try to encourage my students that mistakes offer up opportunities to grow, learn, and stretch the brain but when it comes to myself, I tend to struggle accepting my mistakes/using them as a learning experience. ]]> 2020-06-15 22:27:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/628051419 apekarna https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/628054422 Having a growth mindset means that anything can be accomplished with hard work.  It means to be resilient when challenges arise and know that they can be looked at as an opportunity to learn! I also learned through this course that having a growth mindset means letting go of the things we can't control and focusing on what we can.

A person with a fixed mindset does not like to be challenged and would rather have things come easily than put forth hard work. They might use phrases like "You are so smart!" rather than "I can tell you worked hard at this!"]]> 2020-06-15 22:35:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/628056960 apekarna https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/628062396 Having a growth mindset is the MOST important thing we can ask of our students in our role as an educator. I truly believe that every single one of my students that walk through the door each fall has potential. They are capable of achieving anything they put their mind to. I believe that we are given the amazing opportunity to model what a growth mindset looks like for our students.

This course as taught me how to implement strategies on a daily basis. Teaching growth mindset doesn't necessarily mean showing the perfect video or providing the perfect group project. It can be explaining the importance of learning from our mistakes or giving our students a chance to process before sharing.

That was new information for me going into this class. Before taking the class the test said my growth mindset was developing but I still had fixed mindset tendencies. Now that I know intelligence can grow my results were that I have a growth mindset. However sometimes I am sometimes uncomfortable with criticism and am too hard on myself for making mistakes.

You know that intelligence and talent are only the basis for learning, but that we must be open to learning and making mistakes in order to get better at something. You are able to recognize that when tasks are difficult, they are making you better just by working on them. ]]> 2020-06-16 15:12:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/629116454 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/629119976 A fixed mindset is when you believe that you can only do what you currently are capable of.

We need to be a positive influence for our students to see that we can stretch our thinking in a different way to achieve a goal. It's important to have a growth mindset as a mentor because, again, we must model behaviors and thinking that promotes a new perspective. We, as teachers and mentors, are also students and we are constantly learning just like our students. ]]> 2020-06-16 15:18:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/629126264 sxeise19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/629129433 Yes, I believe all students can learn.

However most people at some point in their lives will not be in a mindset capable of learning for personal reasons.

It is not a trait you are either born with, or not. Intelligence and learning is taught and can grow over time. In fact, our brains actually physically change as we work hard and learn more. Mistakes help us learn and should be celebrated. Praising effort over ability is one way to foster a growth mindset in others.

By having a growth mindset myself, I am modeling for my students that human beings make mistakes, learn, grow, and change. If they see me having a growth mindset and using growth mindset words, they will likely adopt that same language and attitude. Students having a growth mindset is important because they will be more likely to take academic risks and challenge themselves. They will embrace mistakes and understand that their brain physically changes when they put in effort towards something. They will give up less and be more motivated to take on a challenge. They will take their growth mindset into the rest of their school career and life and will be more successful because of it!

The role of the teacher is to unlock this. Some students will come to us with a fixed mindset and believe themselves that they cannot learn. However, explicitly teaching growth mindset, modeling it, and using intentional language to foster it can help students see that they, too, CAN learn. We all can!

I will start by intentionally using growth mindset language, and praising effort over ability. I will put up some growth mindset visuals for students to be reminded throughout the day that they CAN learn. I will teach about the brain and how it physically changes... I think that is powerful for students. I will be using more wait time (both 1 and 2) and implementing the "get back to me" strategy as well.

As a teacher, I think it helps that I am a coach and deal with so many athletes that overshoot goals and "fail" in their eyes but I get to help them make new, realistic goals and walk them through the process of "practice makes opportunities for later". Growth Mindset is a basis to releasing the stress of the end product and focusing on the journey and celebrating every victory. Without the small victories, there will only be one winner. I think back to what I say to my HS wrestlers, "there is only going to be one state champion, is that you, or where will your work and dedication bring you"?]]> 2020-06-19 04:14:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/633076346 dlmoel18 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/633082228 Oh how I could go off on this.......

My worst teachers, coaches, people  I work with who complain and sit in the teacher's lounge and complain.......  "If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem".  I honestly believe that a fixed mindset is the "old school, roll out the ball and it is my way, or the highway" type of teaching and living.  A fixed mindset is a mindset that refuses to learn and accept that there are new ways to interact and grow with the world we live in and teach in.

We give our kids choice in participation levels by allowing them to choose different activities building skills needed for the activities we are doing.

That's a silly question......
The answer is yes.  My first thought when I read this is the swimming unit. 
I have been so lucky these past 2 years to really focus on my teaching as I usually do but with more of an emphasis.  
The past 2 years, I was able to help my students in the swim unit, who were "not the best students who gave effort", but when we got to the swimming unit, they really didn't want to give any effort.
After having honest conversations with them about the grading process, (as long as you dress and get near the pool, you are good to go), their attitudes and efforts changed.
In 10 days of swimming, tons of encouragements and flotation devices, they were able to go from one side of the pool to the other.  I told them both that I would video tape them and send it to their parent's for proof.  
They went from kids that seemed disconnected, but with the encouragement and positive relationship and talk, they did it.  I sent their parents the video and the smile will always be in my mind on those days I really need it.

The question was, Can all students learn..........., As long as people don't give up on them and stop trying. Yes, all students can learn!]]> 2020-06-19 04:39:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/633091471 dlmoel18 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/633103219 As I am finishing this degree and all I have implemented with relationship building and being positive with my students, the absence of our 3rd trimester with long distance learning, I am ready to get back to teaching face to face and making those positive connections and helping students get back to a normal education that they so deserve.   Being home with my kids this past few months has really put it in perspective on how much they need social experiences along with the growth mindset that they are smart and will get better the more you put into it.  In wrestling, I tell my kids, " think of your effort like a bank, the more you put in, the more you can take out".  "You are the only one that knows where your limit is, my job is to push you past that point and make you believe you are better than you every thought you could be.  I'm here with you and your will succeed no matter where the end result is as long as you give me your all".  I plan to build upon that with a better mindset and I plan to build in more goal setting activities both in my PE  classes and coaching.

We are whom our students look up to so it is important that we model what a growth mindset looks like.

All humans have the ability to learn. The hard part is that all students learn best in different ways and all students have different mindsets when it comes to learning.

One thing I want to be really cognizant of is making sure to model having a growth mindset. I know my students to look to me for guidance and modeling the behavior you want to see can have a bug impact.

This class did shift my perspective on how truly important and impactful it can be to have a growth mindset and teach your students about it.

There is still one thing that I need to work on and that is the handling of criticism and being more open to failure.

It may be tough at times and you may fail as you go but never giving up! Just because you struggle with something now doesn't mean you will never succeed it means you haven't YET and when you do it will be all the better because of what you gained throughout the whole process!

It is our job to believe in our students so that they feel valuable and can deal with some of the hardships that they will face in school and in life.

As a teachers we need to show students that they have unlimited potential in order for them to be truly confident and successful in their lives.]]> 2020-06-24 03:08:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/638210300 mxadam19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/638211499 Yes all students have the ability to learn. Some students just use different learning styles. That is why it's so important for teachers to teach with multiple teaching styles in order to reach each student in their class. Students are often clumped together but we need to remember that they are all individuals with different needs and personalities. ]]> 2020-06-24 03:09:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/638211499 mxadam19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/638212992 I want to implement how Ms.Hunt taught her math class. I loved the idea of teaching the lesson to my students, having them work together or independently on they key take aways, plus having them create a mini lesson. Once they complete their mini lesson then they can go and teach it to the camera (no pressure) and I can watch those lessons to see their understanding or misunderstandings. I am unsure how I am going to implement this in PE but I will figure out a way. If not PE, once I start teaching Health I will 100% be using this teaching strategy!]]> 2020-06-24 03:12:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/638212992 mxadam19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/638214714 My mindset has mostly shifted through my personal beliefs in myself. The shift has been about my motivation to learn. We have been taught about effort, resilience, and grit. I obviously have a passion for learning just like everyone else here but I lack motivation. Before this class I thought that I procrastinated because I work really well under pressure but it is actually because I wasn't believing in myself or my abilities. I am going to start working on looking back at how far I have come as a student and as a teacher!]]> 2020-06-24 03:15:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/638214714 bxlund19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/638978025 Throughout this course my mindset has shifted.

That you are born with a certain amount of talent or intelligence and can only improve in certain areas. Having a fixed mindset means that you take failure as the final answer and mistakes mean that you are not smart or not good at something. Having a fixed mindset gives a person an excuse to give up easily. ]]> 2020-06-24 16:39:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/638983844 bxlund19 https://padlet.com/jessicaaprilwilliams/z42syiuhsnto72x3/wish/638986055 It's important to have a growth mindset as a teacher or mentor because we set the example for so many young people! They watch what we do, say, and how we act and will often times mirror what we do.

Teaching and learning may look different for some or all students we have and just because we need to find a different way to instruct some students does not mean they cannot learn. We need to figure out how to meet the needs of our students along with helping the to know that they can learn and improve always!

Our students see every move we make so they will watch us learn from our mistakes and use positive self-talk. We will use words of affirmation to encourage our students as well.
