Instead of writing a syllabus or creating assessments or working on lessons plans, I have procrastinated and scoured some images from the web to make these. I have uploaded .png's of these into thi... Via Beth Dichter

"Are you thinking that maybe you want to be an astronaut, or an author, or a scientist or a doctor? That's great! And maybe you're not quite up to speed on the centrifugal force of the moon or how many bones are in your arms, but if you believe in yourself, you'll get there. That's the power of yet. You might not be ready for outer space yet, but just work hard and keep your eye on the prize and you'll get to where you want to be!" Via Beth Dichter

I was not aware that Sesame Street had videos that looked at social-emotional learning until I stumbled on this one that looks at the power of the word yet. Although designed for younger children I suspect many middle and high school students would be engaged (since many watched Sesame Street as youngsters). This could be useful if you work with students on growth mindset and fixed mindset.

This short video does a great job comparing Growth Mindset and Fixed Mindset. You can find additional resources about mindset at a post Musing on Mindsets located at http://insidetheclassroomoutsidethebox.wordpress.com/2014/04/13/musings-on-mindset

Slick but effective video illustrating the difference between a fixed, less conducive to learning mindset and the more open, growth-oriented type of outlook. |

Growth mindset has changed the way I teach, the way I parent my three boys, and the way I face challenging situations and risks. It has given me the resilience I need while in graduate school. Dr. Carol Dweck's book, Growth Mindset, is a paradigm-changing book. I highly recommend it. Thanks for sharing this great visual representation of Growth vs. Fixed Mindsets.

I have been hearing quite a few ideas...becoming a real "buzz" word! It seems to appear within all forms of dialogue?

Do you teach your students about growth mindset? Is this a topic of discussion with other staff in your school? Jackie Gerstein has shared three excellent resources in this post that focuses on growth mindset. She has created an infographic (image above) that looks at fixed mindset and growth mindset, showing how a student may identify based on their mindset. The next step was putting the infographic into ThingLink and creating links to over 15 resources. Here is the link: ThingLink version of the infographic. There is also a slideshow that provides additional resources (although some may be repeated in the ThingLink). The slideshow is split into four sections: * Mindsets * Historical Background * The Educator with a Growth Mindset * Teaching the Growth Mindset to your Learners Since this post is based on a workshop she provided it is a great resource to share with teachers at your school (or other teachers whom you know). Make sure to check out the resources for students. You may find yourself creating a poster to help your students learn more about growth mindset.

This will be a valuable tool to share in seminar with my new teachers as we look at their students and how the teacher views their classroom.

"Educational psychology has focused on the concepts of learned helplessness and more currently growth-fixed mindsets as a way to explain how and why students give up in the classroom setting. These ideas can also be applied to educators in this day of forced standardization, testing, scripted curriculum, and school initiatives." Via Beth Dichter

Teachers not just family members can be a part of a students mindset. How they think and what challenges to make can also be in response to how teachers are teaching them.
This article explains in a way how helplessness can be a part of someone not being successful. It explains the initiative that someone must take to be successful in school.

This article is talking about how educators are moving from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset, and this has to do with the changes of the curriculum, and forced standardization. This is talking about how success is based on learning, and why some students give up on it. |
If your learners are fans of Star Wars, then these posters may find a place in your classroom. You will find not only the image above (which is on Growth Mindset), but also an image of The Dark Side, otherwise knows as a Fixed Mindset.
In addition, there is a poster 8 Mathematical Processes of Jedi Masters, as well as one on Standards Based Gradings (an assessment tool). To go directly to a page that allows you to download the images click here.
