-
Hi Kathy! Night owl- still haven't forgotten about your science unit. Thx for patience!

-
A1: Fostering a growth mindset promotes Ss to learn from their failures
-
A1: It means that we need to make sure all students needs are being met so they are motivated throughout the year
-
-
We have the pros... working with Carol Dweck herself here in tonight. No over usage here.
-
A1: I can foster a by modeling lifelong learning & creating a safe environment that encourages risk taking.
-
-
-
Fostering means there's always learning potential, no fear of failure, a willingness to take risks, adapt, adjust.
-
A1: A growth mindset is a learner's mindset, meaning we serve as learning parthers alongside our kids.
-
-
-
A1 Fostering a growth mindset, building an environment where students feel safe to take risks, that failing is an op. to learn.
-
A1. Helping your students understand they are always capable of learning something new.
-
A1 For me it's about not giving up, looking at the negative as a positive & persevering.
-
A1 Helping Ss realize failing Is an important part of the learning process
-
A1: It's creating the culture where all learners continually strive for a deeper understanding of learning.
-
A1: Believing that it's never too late for 2nd, 3rd, 4th...chances!
-
. Don't you meant TweetDweck?
-
Ben Lausten curriculum specialist in the snowy mountains of Colorado!
-
A1: A growth mindset for a teacher means s/he believes all students can learn and get smarter. https://t.co/aWMGx8PwEM
-
A1 a means students have agency over their outcomes. It replaces the pressure of "being" w/the power of "learning".
-
A1: A growth mindset means we teach kids we can learn beyond our standards.
-
As a principal I learn so much from those who enlighten me with their thoughts and experiences. https://t.co/znufSwfDly
-
A1 Approaching all challenges as opportunities for growth - thereby increasing the capacity of our Ts, Ss, Ps, and community members
-
-
A1 Successful educators adopt a growth mindset - unquenchable thirst for learning.
-
A1: We believe all kids will learn and be successful, and we also know they will fail and that is OK!
-
A1- It means helping kids discover that knowledge means you don't know everything. It implies an empathy and a willingness to learn.
-
-
A1: It's teaching students that learning never ends, because we can always learn more and do more with our knowledge.
-
A1: to me GM means we understand that we can develop our abilities. We work to become.
-
A1: An educator with a growth mindset continually reflects & embraces opportunities 2 experiment & risk take 2 make it better 4 Ss
-
A1: This 👉 Belongs in every classroom, every staffroom! Illuminate the power of .... the ! 🍎
https://t.co/BN9gXiz4Uf
-
-
-
A1: Growth mindset. I'm not static in my abilities to learn. Persevering and working hard are a driving force to my growth
-
A1: Embracing as a model - the only failure is if you wake up tomorrow the same educator you were today.
-
A1: Rubbing hands in excitement at prospect of learning something new when a challenge/prob surfaces.
-
A1: GM allows teachers to stay passionately curious about learning to improve their practice. They share and question.
-
A1: Growth mindset=empowering & enabling each child 2 find & use his/her abilities & to see learning as ongoing iterative process.
-
-
I learned in prepping for tonight's chat that perseverance is actually a result of a growthmindset, not other way.
-
-
A1) It's providing an environment for Ss to learn, adjust, reflect, then learn some more.
-
What do you mean "beyond our standards"?
-
that openness to failure is absolutely huge!
-
-
Like this, Lori. Progress is the opposite of being static. We must continue to improve daily
-
Good evening! Sorry joining a little late from upstate New York. Looking forward to the chat.
-
Growth mindset means nurturing the power of "YET" and the power of persistence and optimism.
-
A1: fostering mindset is about bringing awareness of where you are and possibilities together to grow
-
. A1 Yeah! It means that your humility puts your arrogance in its place, so that student learning can take the stage.
-
-
A1: Ss can find hope regardless of circumstance. Allows me to remain optimistic and find joy.
-
Hi all, been a while since I've twitter chatted, I'll observe maybe participate spec Ed math from Chicago suburbs some too
-
-
You're right, Mark. Our task is to help facilitate lifelong learners. GM is a key component of this
-
A1: The kind of feedback I give Ss is critical. All Ss can learn though their level of understanding may be different
-
Late to the party! Maranda principal & sped director. Can I get a retweet of Q1!
-
It also means modeling learning/risk taking/failing/learning w both Ss and Ts
-
A1: Growth mindset for me- listen to the content, push aside thoughts about why it will complicate life and choose a bite 2 chew on
-
-
-
Yes! Not just personally & professionally, but collaboratively w/ Ss. Inspire, develop lifelong learners. https://t.co/OhP7usV64N
-
A1: Vocabulary revolves around "not yet" & asking reflective ?'s w/ those I have the pleasure of working w/ https://t.co/j0jgeKa0q5
-
A1: If we want kids to maintain their curiosity then we better maintain outs and share it w them! https://t.co/oLDU5ITat2
-
A1: World Chess Champion Garry Kasparov stated that intelligence is a behavior, not a trait.
-
Teaching students to expect that they will struggle some times and that is okay. Don't let it be a surprise.
-
Yes! We must teach kids that humans are trail & error learners. An error should be seen as 1st step to discovery!
-
-
-
-
-
-
and understand that it takes work and it's hard and oh so worth it.
-
A1) Thinking about Growth Mindset reminds me of a fav quote- that learning is all about changing your mind cc
-
Agree. Knowing where you are is essential to plotting a trajectory of growth.
-
-
A1 It meaning being W A R Y of talking too much about and not doing enough to cultivate it in one's students.
-
Hi Connie and . Carol here from Long Island to learn alongside everyone.
-
Agree! Cool part here is that they then exercise the brain's plasticity that can make it happen! https://t.co/yMGePRA8DZ
-
-
-
Growth mindset means that EVERYONE is a learner. Kids and adults alike. We all are stretching and growing.
-
-
A1: its like rowing upstream but knowing you're not wasting your time. Effort produces...
-
-
-
I am not surprise, my growth mindset tends to be like a radioactive spider bite it's my superpower https://t.co/G6bTripLNv
-
Standards as in Common core, not just learning what 1st graders are supposed to learn, going beyond it, aiming high
-
A1: In Iowa surrounded by farmers we prepare the soil to produce a great harvest. Same is true of Ss and
-
A2: No, but I hope to use what I learn tonight in my future classroom!
-
Inherent in mindset=social-emotional skills that empower Ss 2 see & feel errors as engaging, intiguing opportunities 2 learn-NOT bad
-
A1: believing in finding strategies for all students to grow
-
-
Yes - and they LOVE to help create that culture. They also enjoy sustaining it in fun ways:-) https://t.co/efjR8XJzpZ
-
A2 Reframing situations with people. When they say, it's not possible, I ask: What's in the way? or What are we missing?
-
A1) Also loved the power of three little letters when considering growth mindset- YET. Powerful as an addendum to any condition
-
A2: Have 2 teens & constantly working on fostering - Advice - If you can THINK IT you can DO IT!
-
-
I tell my Ss all the time that I learn from them just as much as they learn from me. Team effort.
-
I've found chess to be a powerful tool to foster a . I learn w/ my Ss
-
is an attitude of positivity-allows open dialogue about topics to grow as a learner. A1
-
A2: I hope we all have experiences with fostering GMs because we should be doing it every day with our kids!
-
A2: Personally I haven't had experience but I hope to use growth mindset often in my future class!
-
Model explicitly for students the kind of positive self-talk that can help you find the courage to try again.
-
Ohhh... you're right on the money. We even have a Q for this topic of feedback.
-
A1 GM is focus on goals, knowledge of stremgths, awareness of waeknessess and resilience of spirit
-
A2: I stopped grading writing & gave specific feedback instead. Ss became more confident & writing improved. https://t.co/ME7sBiqCqh
-
-
A2: Learning to teach and recognize accidental plagiarism as a natural part of learning to write is invaluable! Helps Ss so much!
-
-
A2 Elementary T's did a book study last year using Growth Mindset. Developed a Growth MIndset in themselves and students.
-
Yes! We had teachers and kids make YET signs as a reminder that we are all on the path. We just aren't there yet!
-
A2: Teach that abilities can change, ask questions, solicit feedback, take on challenges. (1/2)
-
A2: Focus on what we don’t know, rather than having all answers. People work to become. (2/2)
-
A2 I do, what's wild I was doing it before I ever heard of growth mindset. So now I do it more intentionally. Students gain so 1/2
-
A2: Gave my team time for Genius Hour in our PD. Ts had the chance to explore areas of their choosing
-
Positive attitude between T and S to understand the unique qualities of the learner w potential to grow. A1
-
A2; It is my goal every day. There is already some undoing, and they are only in 2nd gr!
-
A2: One key to fostering growth mindset is directly teach Ss about mindset so they recognize growth/fixed. https://t.co/YWLUQnAPmT
-
-
A2 Working with (and learning from) educators! PDs & teacher trainings can truly ignite a mindset movement.
-
Yes! Took what learned about learning in chess & applied it to martial arts. Watch Ted Talk after
-
A2: It gets kids EXCITED to learn!
-
A2 Much! The success I have had in my room above typical grade lvl has been amazing! 2/2
-
A2- Doing it this year w/ my 2nd graders. Seeing positive results. Collab w/ Ss developing class mission. Pushing social... (pt 1)
-
One of our children took the drivers test 5 times before he passed. He is now a driver! Mother's GM! A2 https://t.co/lEsWWeaGSV
-
A2) Starting our 2nd week of GM. Did some close reading, watched part of Dweck's Ted Talk, personal inventories, reflective essay.
-
My, OH MY, is scrolling so fast with amazing educators sharing their thoughts about the growth mindset! GO GO GO!
-
-
A2: I often use reframing a Ss thought to help them consider new. Ex: group work advice- consider it 1st instead of get defensive
-
Read aloud books that demonstrate growth mindset in action. Characters that try, fail, and try again.
-
Even before that, we need to show them their brain reacts to that failure if they are growth minded.
-
In the classroom Ss thrive as learners with potential. A1
-
A2: I taught in sped 4 yrs & had 2 experiment with how Ss could be successful. My mantra has always been "try it, fly it, fix it"!
-
-
A2 Do daily w/Not Perfect Hat Club where perfect is NOT an option.Find & foster each S's gifts is! NPHC=place 4 every kid 2 hang hat
-
-
A2: In order to foster in others we must be intentional to model, fail, reflect ourselves. Transparency is huge.
-
A2 We hold educator workshops to discuss practices, motivation & how to apply research w/ s's https://t.co/whUqiaLZ9e
-
A2: Chess affords so many opportunities to fail & likewise learn from such failure. It can be a tough & powerful lesson for Ss
-
A2 Setting goals and helping them achieve those goals through persistence & encouragement.
-
GM is putting effort into what works best for you - effort for effort's sake is no good.
-
A2: Teaching Growth Mindset in adults is powerful. It gives permission to fail as long as we continue to work to learn and improve.
-
Failure in and of itself doesn't foster risk taking. Fixed mindset students are "done" when they fail.
-
A2: working with academically high achieving students- provided diverse opportunities to learn through challenge with encouragement
-
A2: So much revolving around GM is best practice and we are embeding that in our days, just not calling it GM.
-
My husband, a math T only had one bulletin board. It said only YET.
-
Yes, it's important for T's to lead in this area. I know I could use growth in my growth mindset :)
-
A2- ...skill development: perseverance, risk-taking, creativity, caring, etc. Building class culture w/ growth mindset! (pt 2)
-
A2: I've shared with Ss that school is like video games. Learn from failure and get a little further the next effort. Ss can relate.
-
A2 are fostered in adult learning wkshops to foster notion of positivity.
-
A2- to foster growth mindset, it's important to ask kids how they can improve and ask them why they answer as they do. Metacognition
-
-
Teens run with growth fastest - when they see their benefits! Love this age group - for energy risk-taking https://t.co/0pKL3vUDoP
-
It is amazing how Ss react when they realize we still learn too. I believe it helps create lifelong-learners https://t.co/rMzeXD3j3X
-
A2 Consciously making it a routine practice asking our people "How can we do this better?" Aim is 2 build actions of progress
-
Following this thread of growth minded edus.
-
We are modeling failure and growth through it by using our own experiences.
-
A2: Too often, the idea of perfection causes paralysis. Must give room to grow. Again, culture is key.
-
-
A2 has no end date or exit strategy. Lifelong autodidacts get this. Soon, if you're lucky, students get the bug.
-
A2: Having individual meetings with students to gain an understanding of how they think about challenges. Then provide strategies
-
A2: Also doing w/-a global reading & blogging project that teaches appreciation 4 difference, empathy & compassion.
-
-
A2: Call my crazy but participating in Twitter chats shows a Growth Mindset....I learn soooo much from all of you!
-
A2: We celebrate mistakes as opportunities to learn. Ss are more willing to put themselves out there.
-
-
Like this, Marilyn. Can also tie into extensions of social and emotional learning opportunities for Ss
-
It's very powerful for students (and adults) to recognize the traits pros/cons of fixed and growth mindsets.
-
Another example of the power of being open-minded. Vital for growth.
-
-
-
-
And let them know you honestly value & want their input. I like this.
-
-
-
Best thing in the world is to hear a 1st grader say "Metacognition". They are aware of their thinking.
-
What did you read? Can you share?
-
A2 Use the concept in PD sessions 4 dialogue among Ts to foster collaborative classrooms of positivity
-
-
A2 posters to change mindset. Ss wanted to give up on a math concept, referred to posters,she didn't give up https://t.co/LSWlA1Mrkh
-
A2: Support Ss by partnering/grouping so they can support one another to try and accept the struggles involved in learning
-
. Yeah. You need to water with optimism regularly. Witout it, no blooming. No sprouts. Just digging in the dirt.
-
Full Inclusion requires Ss to face learning differences with courage. Growth mindset allows them to be themselves &maintain dignity!
-
A2 Goal-setting paired w/periodic reflection helps develop a growth mindset- weekly reflection & action steps keeps me moving
-
This is a really heavy thought, Mark. Something that we should definitely explore
-
-
Brain Plasticity is there for us as much as it is there for the kids. Even for us old guys. https://t.co/EyxCFVCdNn
-
Hi ! Karly, TOSA from SF/Bay Area jumping in late to chat while my kiddo is in the bath 👍
-
If it doesn't work just try something new tomorrow :)
-
Oh yes! We are all Ss & ALL Ts. We need to get off podiums, get messy & make mistakes with our Ss.
-
So true! This age acts like they are confident and in control but need GM talk the most
-
So many adults do need told that it is ok to fail. Encouraging risk taking brings powerful change! https://t.co/Ma5p4odpig
-
-
A2: GM is part of teaching life long character as well; how we want them to develop through perserverance, grit, positivity, etc.
-
What an honor! Don't get me wrong - I'm all for .
-
A2- Class motto is . Thinking like leaders. Leaders are problem solvers. How would a leader handle that situation?
-
-
exactly, mistakes make learning come to life! ✔
-
-
-
I've also heard it called feed forward! Putting feedback in action for future growth!
-
-
Thanks, Jena. Trying to be purposeful about our building our team.
-
-
A3 Feedback needs to shift from negative - what was done wrong to positive - what can be improved (feedforward).
-
-
-
That's right! I would add, don't be afraid to try something new.
-
A3: Love the word, yet. Not use words like "how smart", talk about effort.
-
Believe also important 2 acknowledge EACH child's =different & 2 actively support it. Miss SO much w/factory edu model
-
A2: Going through the National Board process and earning my doctorate....definitely growth mindsets!
-
A3: I would make sure to tell the students what they can do to improve not just what they did wrong
-
-
A3: speaking to students individually can help. They may be threatened if they are given feedback in front of the class.
-
A2 Regular & targeted feedback in a field of interest by a teacher, mentor, coach, other trusted teammate can help develop mindset
-
-
Moves from classroom management to Ss ownership and accountability. Builds reasoning and critical thinking skills.
-
That you see it as a team says a lot of good things about you. Bravo!
-
A3: Frame feedback to highlight Ss' behaviors like "Your hard work is paying off" instead of "You are so smart!"
-
A3 Can be threatening to get feedback so ask first if someone would like to discuss their process/work. Help them open up to it.
-
The problem with education is it is largely fail-proof.
-
A3: This video illustrates the difference between "you're so smart" and "you worked hard" praise. https://t.co/AMI2NacnoG
-
Helpful sentence frame for process feedback. I noticed you ____. That will help you to ____.
-
-
A3: This video illustrates the difference between "you're so smart" and "you worked hard" praise. https://t.co/lq8aiRlzay
-
A3: Feedback should address progress and results in a way that keeps students focused on learning. https://t.co/pgP3BFUEnX
-
You're totally right. I am constantly shocked at the percentage of fixed mindsets in my classes. It's a huge prob.
-
-
I've told me Ss before. "We're going to try this and if it doesn't work, I'll think of a solution for tomorrow."
-
A3 Frame feedback with positive tone, noticing stance, open attitude. Let Ss ponder & move forward upon reflection.
-
Oh yeah, efficient direct meetings with immediate feedback are effective and essential to growth
-
A3: Definitely one on one convos. Knowing the child's disposition/personality and consdiering that first.
-
A3: Prompt reflection on process, progress, and how we get better at getting better.
-
-
Terry! Have you seen Carol Dweck's talk on the power of yet?
-
-
-
A3 It is important to give feedback related to the process. Positive things in the process and areas that can be strengthened.
-
A3 We need to help Ss see the growth they've made along continuum of learning. CO recognizes growth on state tests
-
. Good point. And let's not forget how much work goes into that kind of differentiation! is Never easy.
-
A3 Begins by referencing the progress that has been made. Continues to build momentum.
-
A2 My experience as a coach has been promoting that is a positive for teachers, too. We're lead LEARNERS. Model it.
-
-
A3: With directions for the next step
-
A3 Specific feedback facilitates growth; less about praise/judgment & more focused on incremental learning. https://t.co/JY0cKmo8DN
-
A3: Lots of emphasis on their process, and not as much on a product. Helping kids to monitor their learning.
-
-
-
A2. Have done explicit teaching along with mindfulness with our intermediate Ss. Did growth vs fixed questionnaire. Gr8 discussions
-
A3 This must be intentional & once you understand intentional feedback it's results are amazing.
-
-
A3: Many aspects of play therapy can be incorporated into classroom. e.g. "I noticed that..." vs "I like that..!"
-
Yes. Also having them understand the role of mistakes and setbacks in challenge-seeking and learning. https://t.co/NSEHkDrmio
-
Or... they can think of a solution for tomorrow.
-
Absolutely. Don't label - allow Ss to reflect on progress. A3
-
A2- Plus/minus/delta- Allows for Ss reflection, adjustment, exchange of ideas. How can I adjust or adapt to grow?
-
A3: What did you learn? How did you grow? What were your successes?
-
A3: Most of my feedback comes in the form of a question. Tell me about this? What do you think we could do here?
-
A3 Prompting revision and reflection on process.. When teachers value the learning process, students will come to value it as well.
-
Agree - yet it behooves Ts to NOT make sch as adventurous as those games. Ss deserve it yet rarely get it:-) https://t.co/8wAc8hBiqd
-
A3: Use critical friends. https://t.co/6NBAMDo1Bi
Call stages "drafts," encourage iteration & revision, focus on critique over #'s
-
A3: I use feedback to inform action for future. Feedback is to action like Mac is to cheese. We gotta have both.
-
-
Its not only what you say but what you take out of the curriculum. Remove the competition, the comparative grading & the badges!!
-
A3: Provide supportive feedback that can be put into action. Feedback that isn't put into action is just a comment.
-
A3: Honest, specific, timely feedback to all teachers that is not punitive in message.
-
-
Nope, they also know how to surround themselves with individuals who push them & balance weaknesses https://t.co/pllD5DFKue
-
We have revamped our literacy curriculum to include 1/2 focus on comp; 1/2 focus on metacognition https://t.co/FJyu9MVf0E
-
You're right, Tim. As we give specific feedback on the process, the progress happens exponentially
-
Self-reflection is crucial. Ss need 2 learn how minds & feelings work. To know what drives & ignites their passion
-
A3: Encouraging, Constructive, Purposeful
-
A3:Lots of opportunities 》wtg block or task completion for GM. Did u just finish the task vs. What did u find most interesting?
-
A3: frame feedback to feed learning/feed forward by adding "what is next for your learning?" We feel done if project is complete
-
A3: Ss need to know that they are on the path- incorporate questions into feedback and smile/have fun
-
A3 Give feedback individually, praise effort. For Ss who didn't do well, reteach, Ss sign contract, practice then retest.
-
-
-
Like that connection, Maranda. :)
-
Agreed- the combo of "what's working" w/"challenges / concerns" of the past help lead to future "next steps"
-
A3: Frame around specifics and avoid general statements. Kids can't take action off of "good job"!
-
Hello ! It's been such a long time, .
-
-
-
A3.2 why collect feedback if your not going to use it? Share with team and brainstorm next steps. Gotta know the pulse of group.
-
A3 be specific, show them the evidence if they don't believe it
-
a way of looking at the difference and the impact/implications for learning! 💡
-
A3: I think the best way to frame feedback is through Q's this promotes self reflection and deeper thinking about current strategy
-
-
Yes, I was thinking of that as I wrote it! haha
-
A3: feedback using rubrics so Ss can self-eval; know where they are & next steps to move forward
-
Yes! Next steps continue the process of learning, growth. When leaders identify problem, they work towards solutions.
-
A3: give feedback on effort, ask Qs such as what else can you do, what will you try next, what did you do well?
-
Creating that communication is a great way to build Ss relationships which helps them buy into Growthmindset https://t.co/1o7jCgjuI1
-
-
A3: Feedback - "I not only use all the brains that I have but all that I can borrow". Woodrow Wilson
-
A3 Giving 2nd chances during feedback after DQuiz might allow but should teachers be teaching & allowing 2nd chances?
-
-
-
Must stop equating feedback w/judgment.Should just be info 2 encourage reflection & open doors not a reflection on self-worth
-
-
-
You're absolutely right, Bethany. Feedback is a science and art. Specificity often determines the level of progress
-
A3: As educators, regardless of level in organization, we motivate, inspire, and lead people to believe that they can.
-
Agree - Perfection literally raises the dangerous cortisol chemicals - that shuts down learning! https://t.co/vI8WICTmtA
-
Working on the topic of mentor texts for as we speak.
-
. My hat's off to you on the work you put into that last tweet. Wish I could take off two, three, 23 hats to you!
-
You still here in ? What do you think so far?
-
-
-
-
So many kids are simply "doing" school. Something needs to change in a big way.
-
Yes....one reason I believe we are not investing anywhere near enough in education and educators with that skillset.
-
A3) I like the way you ___, have you considered ___?
-
Framing our language in positive terms builds a culture of trust.
-
-
-
A4: How can teacher evaluations be designed to measure teacher growth over time?
-
A2 In our k-5 classrooms with GM, they realize that is is not a single lesson. It is a mindset that takes TIME to develop fully.
-
A4 Can growth mindset independently co-exist with fixed mindset in a person (work vs. personal, f.e)? Does one affect the other?
-
When the adults stop doing school, we can get students to do the same.
-
Gotten a lot of mileage out of it. Took the learning from and and put it in a
-
-
A4: How do you undo the damage that has been done? Also, how do you deal with the perfectionist S?
-
I like rubrics too! Keeps me on point and Ss get enough specifics if we'll written.
-
Would u agree it can be both &... So you can encourage specific parts well done, and support further growth? https://t.co/qbLEvSp60T
-
A4 Is there ever a time where a growth mindset should not be viewed?
-
-
A4: How can we get us adults to more openly acknowledge and discuss fixed mindsets?
-
A4 I wonder: How do we help people WANT to grow, once they know they can? Can we get better at that?
-
A4: How can you help your students embrace challenges?
-
Our society encourages extroverts & tells us worth=measured against others. That does NOT encourage
-
. This stuff requires a true level of educational artistry. Takes a long apprenticeship to develop.
-
Give up the candy store of extrinsic motivators & trust each child's own intrinsic desire to learn https://t.co/MhC4G1Nbir
-
A4: How do we best help Ss and Ps understand the difference between traditional grades and quality feedback?
-
Like these additions, Windy. Ties into the resilience piece and adjusting approaches for the next attempt
-
tell my Ss as soon as u say "I can't" u shut your brain off We brainstorm other things we can say Changes mindset
-
Research supports need for specific & timely feedback (regarding content). Coupled w/ this makes it holistic https://t.co/HzBGSTZyzU
-
-
Awesome! Looking forward to the chats on mentor texts and metacognition.
-
A4 How do you help the negative adults in a building to move towards a growth mindset?
-
Great conversation tonight! Time to get ready for learning tomorrow. Signing out early. Have a growth-minded week on purpose!
-
Ohhh... that's a good one!
-
A4: To truly succeed with one must be able to answer the why?
-
-
-
-
A4: The older someone is, does their mindset just become part of who they are? If they are fixed, can it be undone?
-
Yes! I'm glad my mother had a growth mindset. I tried out for dance team four times before I made it! haha
-
A4: Why are we fearful of admitting we don't know everything?
-
Ouch! Too programmatic and not enough room for curiosity building?
-
Yes, that is the question ->
-
-
A4 If someone refuses to grow as a person but wishes to grow in his field, is such growth possible?
-
-
A4: How can you help students who don't take to a growth mindset?
-
-
-
A4: How do we assure educators that matters, even with testing?
-
...wow, think about that!
-
-
A4 what else can you say tothe perfectionist student?
-
Agree. I would go so far as to say it's an art, & like any other art requires care and nurturance. Great Ts=priceless
-
A5- How do others convince skeptics about the presence of fixed mindsets, or even the importance of growth mindsets?
-
A4: Can adults with a fixed mindset be coached into a growth mindset?
-
Got to hear Dr Astro Teller of Google talk about surviving a moonshot. Act fast, fail faster. Inspiring. https://t.co/RK2JWgP9Dk
-
. Love this Jena. Feedback shouldn't be about judging but about supporting & encouraging reflection & growth.
-
A3 Cont. We use accountability talk, Ss explain their thinking. Usually Ss will find their mistake & correct it. Opp. to talk GM
-
. Oh, man. Yes, please stop acting like geniuses and start BEING teachers.
-
A4: is there a time having a fixed mindset can be productive? In what areas are you most growth oriented and how does it spread?
-
A4 How can we continue to strengthen the educator community, and learn from each other's strategies?
-
-
-
I believe trust can be added as well.
-
We started an anchor chart w/ alt things to say.
-
A4: How do you get team members that have intentions to de-rail efforts on the same page?
-
Positive feedback-Warm comments: Positive statements-what you noticed w cool comments: what you wonder to grow the learner
-
Especially since so many of us educators have a fixed mindset (I'm in recovery myself)
-
-
I believe they can, but the growth-mindset individual must remember it's ok to step away at times. https://t.co/xE9VTDRkAH
-
I once had a funeral for "I can't" Ss wrote down one I can't statement , put it in bucket and we buried it. May still be there 😊
-
-
I was out your way in SLO earlier this month.
-
-
Oh yes! Kids LOVE to learn! Must stop trying 2 cram info into their heads & listen to what intrigues & motivates them
-
This is a key Q. It will take a collaborative effort. Discuss positives already seen and how our Ss have benefited
-
I tell my Ss if you know it all then I don't have a job. So please keep me employed. :)
-
A3: Love this focus on collaborative interdependence. Supporting each other to be the best we can be! https://t.co/haDU8ozeWI
-
A4: When will we stop allowing fixed mindset members to detract from our teams?
-
I look at it as a hiccup, hiccups go away, damage can too with help, understanding, & encouragement. https://t.co/hhLWaFAVYi
-
A4 What strategies help those w/perfectionist tendencies change mindset? Especially given how debilitating such an approach can be
-
It's amazing how quickly you can get rid of the "I can'ts"
-
Awesome! How was it? Did you get some nice weather?
-
Oooh! That's a good question!
-
-
. Agree. Do you worry that some will think saying the phrase "growth mindset" will, in itself, do the trick? I do.
-
I want error 2B simply "Oops." Guess that didn't work, so what's next? What next should be seen as wonderful challenge
-
-
Why what? Tell me what you mean.
-
-
As with anything, time & experiences cement beliefs/views. Mindset can be changed as long as growth experiences happen
-
My goodness. is so busy, I didn't even see you here, Mark.
-
is from a positive framework that allows a fixed mindset to move beyond through reflection & action.
-
NOW: My classmate aka talks about the power of a Growth Mindset @
-
A4: I think fixed mindset occurs when Ss don't connect cause/effect. They are not agents of change but rather of chance?
-
A3 Feedback given as a list of errors is just that. Give FEEDBACK, not corrections, after the learning community has embraced GM.
-
A2: Ensuring curiosity is maintained is huge for growth mindset. In programming found ways to add it.
-
My mind turns to Jim Collins, as he discusses seats and the bus
-
Seems like it is. There can be growth with a fixed mindset.
-
-
I have to believe that it can. It's just too sad to think it can't.
-
A4 How to get Ts to understand SPED Ss can have a GM
-
-
-
A4: despite this knowledge changing mindset is still hard. What Kryptonite do you use to kill old thinking?
-
LOL anyone who believes that=just paying lip service. Growth is hard, exciting & messy. Be prepared 2 get hands dirty!
-
-
-
Rituals are very important :)
-
Q5 Have u caught yourself in a fixed during a school day? How do you manage fixed mindset thoughts? https://t.co/WzQozVtvks
-
My student teacher also made each S a note for their pencil box that says "I can try my best."
-
-
-
We all are.. this is really the 1st time the point can be made with hard science. It's liberating. https://t.co/LAaYWyItfQ
-
-
Yes! Failure seen as an opportunity to celebrate growth not a time to mourn what didn't work.
-
A4 When your actions aren't creating a in your students... stop thinking about GM. (Try--hard--not to fool yourself.)
-
-
-
Thank you for keeping our SPED kids in mind! So important.
-
A5: Lots of positive is the way out of a fixed for me.
-
Think we need 2 go out of our way to find & listen to the quiet ones. They often hold the real gems.
-
What a great reminder when things get hard.
-
A5. Fixed minds live in brain storehouse! Working memory tools add change! IE – change fighting to friending https://t.co/YNeskLDve5
-
-
-
-
A5: Lots. Made a list @ https://t.co/Lfu5YgtkVV My worst is giving in to gossip. Step 1 to fix is being mindful. Meditating helps.
-
A5: I have definitely felt a negative while taking tests but I have always overcome it!
-
A5: Yes, I must admit I do. Then, I stop and think about my life experiences and how a GM has allowed me to get to where I am.
-
See? There you go with a flip yourself.
-
. There's much in the phrase, the idea, that appeals to lazy admins, teachers, parents, students, pols.
-
-
A5: I don't isolate and find others who also have a . Everyone needs encouragement!
-
A5: Of course! Many times I have tried to avoid challenging assignments and take the easy way out on something
-
A5 All the time. It helps that I know that it's normal to feel fixed sometimes and that a is a choice. My choice.
-
Lurking and reading some insightful stuff!
-
A5- yes. Using tired thinking is easy to do. "I'm just not good at that."
-
-
A4: This speaks volumes! Please share this with colleagues 👉 How Twitter has changed teachers! 🍎Mentors!
https://t.co/aJpdR5JYOJ
-
A5: I find a new book that challenges me. If I want my Ss to grow as readers, I need to grow as well :) Doing this helps me refocus
-
-
-
Honest as in no sugar coating. Giving honest feedback, the right way, is important.
-
-
A5) Oh my, yes. I remind myself that every child has a "story" that I may not know about.
-
A5 Once in a while. I have to remove myself from negativity, breathe, remember why I do what I do, pick myself up & press fwd.
-
-
A5: If I catch myself acting in a fixed mindset, sometimes I just take a break and come back to it later. https://t.co/bBrkc3PX2s
-
A5 Of course! Helps to recall times when persistence led to real change, and apply it to the present situation.
-
I think "honest" means non-judgmental feedback
-
Of course with anything fixed & rigid doesn't help mold change. Mindsets changing = positive growth
-
Brilliant tht here! True! An untamed amygdala will ignite all the wrong passions for instance. https://t.co/G600bA6Ycg
-
A5: I get in fixed mindset when focused on efficiency rather than quality. Usually come back to quality w/ time. Happened today!
-
. More teachers need to share their own struggles. Will forge trust with students!
-
-
A5: Yes. I observe my FMs & effects w/o judgement. Then I breathe deeply, & talk back w/ my GM voice.
-
-
soooooo important. Treating yourself with kindness is a big key to growth in ourselves.
-
A5 Unfortunately I have. Usually when around some other T talking negatively about change. I have to avoid these situations.
-
Perfectionism<growth, teaching (self) forgiveness and to plan&act on what next =essential to great growth. https://t.co/C7LEeZMYmF
-
Tomorrow our Ss take the NWEA MAP assessments. Will encourage them to shine their brightest and show every1 how much they've grown
-
That's awesome! I no people make fun of positivity signs but if they mean something to you, they do help. https://t.co/Vsm6H3AxsA
-
It got me where I am by first showing that it was there as something more than the grades & the tracking. https://t.co/TJsIwb8GyB
-
-
-
A5 Our colleagues help us re-frame challenges when we experience fixed triggers: Feeling nervous? That's just excitement!
-
I would agree. Even though I think there are limitations to such one-area growth. Everything is interconnected.
-
You're welcome to use it any way you wish. It's thinking of Mindset Works where & are.
-
Fixed Mindset is a part of life. Reflection, being self-aware and then make the appropriate action
-
A5When the FM thoughts emerge I reflect on the progress that has been made,the growth of our team,& the goals we have set to achieve
-
A5: It happens quite often. This makes collaboration and networking that much more important.
-
The Power of belief -- mindset and success | Eduardo Briceno | TEDxManha... https://t.co/BGLUfwnFAC via Love this one !
-
Yes! Sharing our struggles, learning processes, setbacks, strategies, ideas, feedback, progress... Yes! https://t.co/PZahtvMsnu
-
A5: Break routine. Don't be too hard on yourself. Revisit later. Talk to peers. Read.Read. Read.
-
-
-
A5 It's an endless dialectic. We're always moving back and forth between growth and fixed mindsets. Every day! Let's be honest here.
-
A5 Turn away from negativity to allow each S to grow as a learner
-
Mindsets=shaped by experience -not bad. Growth can B scary. Surround yourself w/people who believe in &support yr growth
-
A5: Yes, it is difficult when you and your Ss are being evaluated off test scores.
-
A5: I have a brief jam session to music! Nothing that a few tunes can't help. I also reflect with critical friends.
-
A5 When I am caught in a fixed I go down the hall, tell my story, and my coworkers whip me in shape!!
-
A5. Fixed Mindset is a part of life. Reflection, being self-aware and then make the appropriate action
-
I once had Ss pick something they've never done, try it for 2 wks & show or tell w/small. Only have 1 St freeze (the gifted one)
-
-
A5 Sometimes I have the urge to give in to a challenging problem. Remind myself that I need to read, learn, study, work, etc.
-
-
-
A5: have a backup plan for the backup plan...exhaust your strategies
-
I agree, often people watchers with some amazing insight, acknowledging that opens up great conversations. https://t.co/tPnTb9PKHv
-
A5: I ask myself why am I staying fixed? What am I afraid of losing?
-
So many good books there. I REALLY love "the dot". Also just discovered "The Magnificent Thing". Really good!
-
A5: Fixed mindset always creeps into the school day. Reflection & surrounding yourself w/ growth oriented colleagues brings me back
-
-
Thank you everyone for the inspirational ! Feeling more motivated for the new week! Now to let my brain process...zzz
-
Growing learners! A Plus! A1
-
A4 No one has succeeded coaching me to learn to parallel park. My fear of hitting a car has fixed my mindset there. One day...
-
-
-
Was just having the urgent vs important conversation a few days ago - essential in our work
-
-
-
-
Q6 Some grading & assessment practices trigger a fixed mindset. What are hacks 4 assessment? https://t.co/G232zvN4q5
-
A4: 💡 Educator Advisory! Twitter PLN POWER! 👉 Locate, hang, & LEARN with those who inspire! 🍎
https://t.co/RRDt2beek2
-
A5: I read "This is Water" by David Foster Wallace
-
A5: YES! concerning some of my peers' abilities to grow as educators. However, that can't be a crutch but a hurdle to be overcome
-
-
A5: fixed mindset with best practices-remind myself next practices is more resilient. No one best practice for every circumstance
-
Add some tech and get a back-up camera next time
-
A6: Allow redos and accept no zeros.
-
-
A5 I go to my resources for a quick refresh, my PLN, Twitter, my colleagues are my lifeline, then I am open to new learning again
-
I agree! Learning to move past, grow from it, & know it's temporary it is what is critical. https://t.co/tSXoq0texF
-
-
-
-
A6 Options 4 students 2 show learning other ways if they fail at first attempt in learning. I can replace a grade in the gradebook.
-
-
A5 surprises me, . It almost sounds like people can inhabit or for extended periods of time. That's not so.
-
capturing the individual stories makes it so sweet!
-
Growth is rarely ever the easy choice. It's key to becoming better, but it's not easy.
-
A6: Most assessments do! How about allowing re-dos. If it's all about the learning, what do we have to lose?
-
Attempting! haha But is moving so fast I'll never catch up!
-
If sugar is erotonin (the brain's well being chemical )- would you agree we should give it often? https://t.co/fZGRIiP8v8
-
A6 Formative assessment is important. Students able to continue to update and improve their work.
-
-
-
-
A6; Rubrics are great for It will show we are growing and developing. Differentiate.
-
That's when you justify behavior by saying it's good to walk assuming parking fear leads to distance! Heehee....
-
A6: Using fun tech tools such as is a great way to engage learners
-
A4) It's seems like grades are often associated w/fixed mindset- what strategies serve similar purposes while promoting growth?
-
A6: Frame assessments as tools for learning. Make avail. info one can learn from. Prompt reflection.
-
-
love coupling Yet with persistence & optimism for a positive classroom
-
TY 4 honesty. Fixed minsset usually result of habit that kept us safe. Growth=scary. Acknowledge & dare to try again!
-
A6: Allow the opportunity to do it again. Failure doesn't have to be fatal.
-
A6: Giving students choice on how they respond, allow for multiple intelligence.
-
Interesting point...hadn't thought about that.
-
-
IMO, it'll actually take making redos a part of in-class practice to change past thinking
-
Seems like you flip back/forth depending on task, and other factors. Goal is to move closer to GM.
-
Will have to check that out. Like author!
-
Gotta bounce early. Thanks every1 for great convo. Looking forward to digesting the wall of awesome in TY
-
As long as the sugar isn't wrapped around bull, yes!
-
A6: Tell Ss that the first grade on an assignment is simply a starting point for negotiations
-
A6: Reteach concepts if needed. Find alternative ways for Ss to demonstrate their understanding. Focus on growth & not the grade!
-
A6: Are your grading practices focused on the grade and "teaching responsibility" or learning? https://t.co/aEl06JC0km
-
A6 reteach using different strategies, students retest. Ss sign contract indicating what they don't understand & what they can do.
-
My next car will definitely have one of those!!
-
A6 Champion practices showing a rich body of evidence:
eliminate zeros
rethink HW
allow redos/retakes
autonomy over compliance
-
too many districts & admins will talk the talk then shirk away from fighting the standardized testing mania. https://t.co/T5BPTnFc6m
-
A6- Again, as many opportunities for meta cognition as possible. Moments of reflection and open ended questioning.
-
-
I'm a good parker, but have still come to love my camera.
-
-
Love this. Here is were you are...Where do you want to go? We need kids to want to have the drive to go higher
-
-
-
A6 For most work, avoid any letter or number, only give feedback on how s's can improve & frame grades as what was learned SO FAR.
-
-
A5 It starts with self-awareness and self-questioning. I make a conscious attempt to say 'yes' before I say 'no.'
-
A6: Does my assessment communicate beliefs and values of a growth mindset? Allow for failure but don't let the Ss stay a failure.
-
-
-
I love them!! One of my Ss asked me to place a sign in a different place so he could see it better.
-
. Ts all want actionable feedback and growth-minded evals. Will they give them to their classes?
-
. You gave that kid a gift. Next time, thawing--and action--will have to happen!
-
Grades imply all Ss must be measured against 1 another=sure way 2 stifle growth & Instill fear of trying anything new.
-
-
-
A6: What are we trying to learn from assessment? Begin with the end in mind- fact tests might not change, but make summative PBL?
-
Agreed! Question is, should a leader mandate this, or build consensus about importance/power of redos?
-
A6: Use a rubric that breaks down feedback, so the student can identify where additional help and learning are needed.
-
A6 hopefully by using SBG the grades reflect ongoing learning as Ss master each skill.
-
YES - To do so raises intrapersonal IQ and lieterally changes the shape and operation of brain! GO KINDNESS! https://t.co/KIMSGyUw3G
-
A6: If we focus on mastering skills...time should be irrelevant. I think we miss this with most assessments.
-
A5 Not nec. during a school day, but yes, though not for long. Spending time in the now trending "white space" helps me shift back.
-
-
Just found tonight. Fascinating topic! Looking forward to future chats!
-
Redos are positive approaches to growing learners who are reflective. A6
-
A6: Assessments with personalized practice that respond to a S's performance IS growth mindset!
-
-
-
-
everything's good in moderation. Well-balanced diet's needed for our brains just as much as for our bodies.
-
Just checking in tonight. I hope had a great Thanksgiving. I look forward to reading today's chat. It looks great!
-
Use formative assessment as Dilan Wiliam intended, assessment for learning, not of learning
-
A6: Ask yourself: How might my words or actions motivate others towards greatness/success? Then do that!
-
A6: I favor small quick assessments which allow for redirection if needed. Love my small group time too. Imp. convos happen!
-
-
-
A6) Using Google Classroom makes it easy for timely feedback, revisions, and the opportunity to grow.
-
A6 Remove time for the curricular equation. Ss demonstrate competence as they grow and learn. https://t.co/EviBKYsCVI
-
-
Mini-lessons to strengthen gaps in learning helps those in need. A6
-
a6 Grading is formative and involves peers. Keep in mind where you're going not penalizing where you're at.
-
Tough thing to "mandate" . Also, though, can't wait for consensus. Have to disuade via analysis of Ss work
-
-
Agreed- seems more closely associated with the receiver, who seems more likely to see grade as label
-
-
-
Life is a marathon. Keep running, and seeing new thins.
-
A6 Grades should be revelatory; meaning they should reveal the story. To what degree do my assessments reveal the story?
-
-
-
. And too many Ts don't see Ss attitudes as their responsibility.
-
-
Agree. Just like saying it louder doesn't make me understand :)
-
Live in the positive world-shed negativity. A7
-
A7: I will be a connected educator.
-
-
-
A7: An action I can take is stay connected with my PLN to learn new techniques
-
And it is SUCH a high when you choose to dare, to take the risk despite fear-knowing U might fail & that's OK
-
A6: assessment for learning-use assessments formatively to determine next leaning steps. Learning often stops once a grade is given
-
A7. Will share all of the growth mindset videos everyone so thoughtfully shared with me during this chat with Ts tomorrow.
-
-
-
-
A7: Make time to discuss mindsets with team. Need to discuss both GM and FM and how and when we get stuck in each.
-
Continued participation in
-
-
-
Where can I get some of these great GM posters?
-
Connected edus have & are reflective. A7
-
A7: We will continue to learn from others on Twitter!
-
A2 A blog about as a way to make teaching an art form. Allow ourselves to improve for our Ss. https://t.co/ukTunPl8uf
-
A7: Mind your thoughts, mind your words & mind your behavior. This goes for both Ts & Ss.
-
-
A7: Starting two book clubs w my team both are voluntary. School Culture Rewired and How Full Is Your Bucket.
-
-
A7 Don't be afraid to tell the full true story of your struggles to grow. Cast yourself as the human hero of your own education.
-
. Let's average Ts performance across quarters instead of allowing for growth b4 summative eval. C if they like.
-
A7: I would like to give feedback focused on growth instead of the end result so Ss feel successful.
-
Stay Connected. Live in the positive! A7
-
A7: If I focus on the moment I can most always keep GM at heart. When distracted by too much or things too far out I lose touch.
-
A7: I will prototype and test a workshop on Fixed Mindsets, 4 greater self-awareness, comm. & support.
-
A7: Reflect on my BELIEFS concerning a S's abilities. Ultimately, their growth is reflective of my feelings towards them as learners
-
-
-
A7 I will put some of this chat to use in PD sessions and in the classrooms I visit. thank you!
-
A7: Recognize ways Ts provide feedback to Ss when in classrooms and create a list to celebrate/share w/ all staff
-
Thank you for hosting tonight on fostering - can't wait to ready the !
-
A7 Learn from our teacher community & develop more resources to help schools sustain growth mindsets over time!
-
-
Hard to mandate change to mindset. Must address why of practice and bring people along. Reach the tipping pt.
-
A7: I always tell kids, "I'm not giving up on you." After I tell them that, I don't. Always show kids I care and am there for them
-
Failure is okay--it is expected--but never the final result. Growth mindset and go hand in hand.
-
A7 Over and over, everyday in every way I'm getting better and better!
-
-
. Sharing that feeling is a central part of education. Wait: Is education a... drug?
-
A7: Myself = Continue to read and be a life-long learner. Students= Relationship build, Encourage, Focus on process.
-
A7: Continue to cultivate others around me, establish a tribe to take on this work together both on Twitter & within system/building
-
Thanks for letting me pop in ! Bedtime duties call. Have a wonderful night! 😊
-
Q7 For myself I will remember that learning takes time. I need to put in the time to master the skill https://t.co/IbW2IHQzZC
-
I write books designed 2 lay track 4 Ss 2 think, feel & run with ideas in them. LUV igniting sparks & seeing where Ss go
-
Great graphic, Connie! We want risks & growth but many common practices trigger fixed mindsets https://t.co/Tkq2qyJPb3
-
A7 We appreciate learning from your work. We'll reach out to some of you to learn more about you and your students!
-
A6: Feedback should take priority over digits. Growth is an ongoing process. So should assessment be.
-
That's powerful! Agree on norms. Increase trust & self-disclosure over time. Enjoy the jouyrney! https://t.co/vOY9NRk0Yr
-
A7- I constantly work towards understanding others and fight the urge to criticize and categorize.
-
If anyone wants to keep my accountable and ask how my GM is going in a day or so, feel free! haha
-
-
If you already "know you have a fixed mind," chances are you're actually ready to grow. .
-
A7 Continue to connect and grow my support and lead Ts to improve Ss and
-
A7 believe the most important thing we can do is cultivate self-compassion & throw off the yoke of perfectionism
-
A7 continue using posters, continue using the vocabulary.
-
-
