A growth mindset is essentially the idea that anyone can grow, progress, or increase in their knowledge and performance -- that excellence is not hardwired into our DNA in a zero-sum sense. #edchat
Growth mindset ... a pretty cool buzzword that basically means ... keep trying ... keep learning ... keep a positive attitude toward change. It is an attitude ... #edchat

Are there any productive teachers that don't believe their kids can learn? Isn't #growthmindset as simple a concept as saying learning is a good thing, we should make sure kids have that opportunity. #edchat
In a growth mindset, people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work—brains and talent are just the starting point. #Edchat
I love how education can package a concept and make it seem like it is hard to understand and/or achieve only to find out it is just an attitude adjustment. #edchat
Second blog post on my journey. This post serves as a reminder to myself that I will never have all the answers and I have to be fine with that. Thank you to all of those who inspire me to keep learning as a teacher. #tg2chat#edchathttps://t.co/QIcnpQiWbF
Sadly, I think some teachers think that some kids have very strict limits on what they can do or learn. Of course there may be a limit to kids' desire to excel or grow, but that doesn't mean we stop doing our part. #edchat
Folks are stressing simplicity of growth mindset concept, but putting it at center of pedagogy requires thoughtful rewording of all the feedback we give. #edchat
the problem is ... we live in a first world country where it is easy to sit back and not have to do adapt. Push a button and the machine works ... if it doesn't we can call someone. #edchat
Growth is imperative in education. We can learn so much by looking at student improvement. We can also strive to grow as professionals - listen and try new ideas. #edchat

A #growthmindset is knowing that getting something wrong, is the beginning of solving the problem. And getting something right, is the beginning of validating your work #edchat
I think it's more systemic than an issue. We just don't know a meaningful way in American education to recognize student progress -- by and large, that is. #edchat
My WHY is when a student is moving away and before getting in the car they run back to you to give a Batman LEGO doll they took the time to make just for YOU. #onesmallthing#Edchat
Growth Mindset is really hard to do when you're only talking about completing a math worksheet or convincing teachers they should buy into the latest Ed trend. #edchat
Old: You really did your best. I know math is tough for you, so nice job getting a B+.
New: You improved in this skill and this skill, but we can find ways for you to practice this other skill better. #edchat
Every person wants to grow ... very few people are like "just leave me sitting here in my ignorance" ... just has to be worth their time. Learning can't be just because it is in the standards. #edchat
was just reading on this… https://t.co/YM9lfZBJpx I think it’s about tweaking systems, individualized grades are in place for one reason but we know that cooperative goal structures and peer relations are better motivators for engagement, self-identity, growth-mindset #edchat

#edleaders: This is a not-to-be-missed event! Leaders from districts & states across the country will be digging in deep on what's really working in school improvement. And it'll be in beautiful San Diego! Check out the details: https://t.co/KmTtnbS0jb#edchat#suptchat#edadmin
Louisiana teacher arrested for asking obvious question in a civil voice during a public meeting. Vermillion Parish schools & Abbeville police have some explaining to do. https://t.co/pLbOwCAPD9#edchat#education
yeah! and I bet future employers would like to know what kind of growth curve a student is capable of, it’s no wonder Google seeks out applicants who are not from academia #edchat#howdidyougetthere
If you think today’s students walk into the front door and respect you automatically because of your position, you could not be more wrong! #edchat#respectisearned
You want to see a growth mindset, watch a student actively learning something they are interested in. Learning isn't a new concept, but you can't sell old concepts. #edchat
Our focal point seems to be all about dwelling about the "why" we failed ... analyze ... write reflections ... instead of just moving on. If you fall of a horse you don't write an essay ... you get back on the horse and keep trying. #edchat
Teachers! I helped start this conference 4 years ago... Real PD for educators by educators. And tickets are FREE b/c teachers shouldn't have to pay for good professional development. Whole-school staffs are welcome! Feel free to share! https://t.co/a1VD29p3Un#edxednyc#edchat
I honestly don't know, not being in a position to hire anyone, but I can't imagine the ONLY criteria is immediate productivity and obedience anymore. #edchat
Absolutely disgusting! Teacher handcuffed, arrested after questioning school board about superintendent’s contract. Here’s the riveting video. https://t.co/inABFnqa3M#edchat
Try leaving the grades hidden. Don’t place them on the completed assignment and let them feel pride in the process and the finished product - if you work hard and try hard, grades will come #edchat
Nope, students fail (typically) when they decide the work isn't worth the grade. It has nothing to do (usually) with how well a student can learn. #edchat
Some do overemphasize, which takes away from the purpose. Just trying again is great but that is the fine line of resilience. Taking note about what I did differently to get closer to your goal is an important note to process #Edchat
After nearly closing in 2012, Robeson is named Philadelphia’s most improved high school, dubbed “the school of opportunities” by one student. https://t.co/LMOGfb4FjF#edchat
I still question this endeavor as a realistic portrayal of how the legislative process works. Would love to work with students on issues that affect them vs. bills that don't do much outside their title. #INLegis#edchat#polilalahttps://t.co/S0ESjN4o0I
Students from West Lafayette are spearheading the push to adopt the Say’s Firefly as our official state insect. In fact some of them are in my office right now watching this speech!
HoltonArms Math trails are a great way to introduce real world math to students. We're happy to feature the strategy. New posts for #learning#pln#education#edtech#edchat
Does it bother you that a student's grade probably says more about their compliance or wanting to please than your excellent teaching? (Of course excellent teaching may simply be creating more compliant, wanting to please student opportunities) #edchat
Trying to get some vlogging going with my struggling Ss. I need help from my PLN with some ways to get it going. We are starting with dig cit this week. It needs to be literacy based and I want kids to highlight their #passions
Dear Teachers,
The vast majority of your "Awesome" learning activities have nothing to do with anything that interests us.
Your Students
Just because you think it is great doesn't mean your kids do.

What happens when educators design a #school? @JillTucker visits the new home of Design Tech High School on the @Oracle campus. This reality was just the start of an idea when I was a reporter! Congrats! #edchathttps://t.co/K35OtQ787Z
I like the fact that students get a taste of the political process, in this case, the legislative one, however, it is such an easy issue to push.
Why not have a project where the students work on real issues inside public education?

Teaching a growth mindset creates motivation and productivity in the worlds of business, education, and sports. It enhances relationships. Robert Sternberg #Edchat
Growth mindset helps encourage students to innovate and challenge themselves. Sometimes we fail, but by looking at growth the focus falls on what we learned and how we changed. #edchat
Gillian from Vancouver joining you all LATE! For me #GrowthMindset is about pushing past boundaries, seeking new understanding, new experiences, rel'ships #edchat Being OK with discomfort and ambiguity. #imaginED
not sure what health curriculum this comes from and how these worksheets are contextualized in readings/activities, but what is my 6 year old nephew bringing home from school? help the little pills find the bottle? #edchat#education#learning
Working on a robotic controlled hand with Ivy Tech. Our #pltw students are working on the coding, motorizing, and tweaking. We are also doing the 3D Printing and learning about different filaments. #edchat
Totally agree Eric. I don't see it as all that simple if one considers the multifaceted nature of growth AND if one considers the community of educators we are part of. #imaginED#edchat
In the educational context, the question is not _whether digital or analog_, but rather _in which contexts analogous and in which digital_. #EDchatDE#satchat#aussieed#edchat
Join the #EduSistas for #EduAR this Thurs at 8:30cst! Topic: Communication is the KEY to Telling Your Story. You don’t want to miss this convo! Make plans to learn with us! @nortnik@bethhill2829 and me...we look forward to “seeing” you. 😊 #edchat#leadlap
I don't deny you did ... was it 100%. Would the kids tell you if they didn't like it? Was it an activity for only your top tier kids or did your lower level learners enjoy it too? Is there a difference between tolerating and enjoying? #edchat
