    Q0: Introduce yourself and share about a time you had a productive struggle while learning. #IEedchat #growthmindset
  • jswilliams Feb 5 @ 10:32 PM EST
    Hello #IEedchat Joseph Williams from @PUHSD Productive struggle I had was I when I learning how to efficiently operate a Cat 988 and load road base. There would be a long line of trucks each morning and you could not waste a motion trying to fill those trucks.

    A0 Julie from PESD 6th gr T/AVID/Tech Lead A couple weeks ago I changed out my ignition coils on my car..something new to me #IEedchat
  • JSynnott1 Feb 5 @ 10:32 PM EST
    A0: Jonathan Synnott, Tech Tosa for PUHSD. Had a productive struggle trying to learn two coding languages. Though not proficient yet, the struggle has produced growth #IEedchat
  • AshleyMSJC5 Feb 5 @ 10:33 PM EST
    A0: Hello, I'm Tom Ashley, Tech Coach TOSA @PalomaValley. I almost always struggle with doing big projects for the first time. Stress of the unknown, I guess. Just completed my school's application for CSM dig. cit. certification. PHEW! Will be easier going forward. #IEedchat
  • BaynesHeidi Feb 5 @ 10:33 PM EST
    A0: Heidi Baynes SJUSD- I rarely program anything correctly the first time. Always a productive struggle. #ieedchat #growthmindset
  • rguztec Feb 5 @ 10:33 PM EST
    Robert Guzman Tech Coach @CMIPerris Way back when I was taking Calculus at University, I struggled with it a bit. But once I got it I pledge my appreciation for it #IEedchat
  • judykaylane Feb 5 @ 10:33 PM EST
    A0: HS Eng T from @puhsd always struggle appreciate the productivity more now #growthmindset #IEedchat
  • JSynnott1 Feb 5 @ 10:33 PM EST
    Amen to that! #ieedchat

    Q1: How can we teach students that our brains get stronger when we’re challenged? #IEedchat #growthmindset
  • AshleyMSJC5 Feb 5 @ 10:35 PM EST
    That is awesome. I thought about using an automotive example but passed. Glad you changed your coils. Must be an old car. #IEedchat

    A0: Deatra Lee, Tech TOSA @puhsd, over the course of a few summers I learned to wakeboard. #ieedchat #growthmindset
  • BabySpiceHunter Feb 5 @ 10:35 PM EST
    A0: HS Eng T- Taking the Google Certified Educator exam- Time stresses you out but I learned a lot. #IEedchat
  • KennedyMLutz1 Feb 5 @ 10:35 PM EST
    Hi, I'm Kennedy. I'm a pre-service teacher at Albright College in PA & this is my first experience in a twitter chat. A productive struggle I've experienced while learning was the other day when I had to learn how to change a flat tire on the side of the road #notfun #ieedchat
  • jswilliams Feb 5 @ 10:36 PM EST
    A1: In my ELA class, we would try and “exercise” parts of the brain students were not used to. For struggling readers and writers this required practice and students needed to feel the success of practice. They also needed to find joy in reading and writing. #IEedchat
  • MathButler Feb 5 @ 10:36 PM EST
    A0 Jed Tech TOSA/math geek @PUHSD @HeritageHSPats Learning to teach done right is productive struggle. Right now it’s little bit of dejavu learning to coach with teachers. New game, similar rules, and similar strategies. #ieedchat

  • rguztec Feb 5 @ 10:36 PM EST
    A1: By showing them that they can decipher and analyze things like the experts in the world. I constantly discuss Art with my students and ask them about their opinion on certain things #IEedchat
  • MRoarkPMP Feb 5 @ 10:36 PM EST
    Michael, Jurupa USD. Today trying to figure out how to set-AdUser time zones...(hint hint, you can’t...) #IEedchat
  • AshleyMSJC5 Feb 5 @ 10:37 PM EST
    A1: I think we need to focus on teaching students how to think about their learning. Teaching metacognitive skills ranks 14th (out of ~200) in Hattie's research. Students can learn how to learn. #IEedchat https://t.co/kYTSgm3lFs
  • judykaylane Feb 5 @ 10:37 PM EST
    glad you are here w/us tonight and that you survived the flat #IEedchat
    In reply to @KennedyMLutz1
  • JSynnott1 Feb 5 @ 10:37 PM EST
    A1: Share with them personal stories of how we learned something new through challenges and trying again amidst failure #ieedchat

    Q2: What are ways we can emphasize the goal of learning above specific outcomes? #IEedchat #growthmindset
  • Dale_Chu Feb 5 @ 10:38 PM EST
    A1: Don’t tell them that they’re smart. https://t.co/RjMM6ngxRH #IEedchat
  • julie_borgmann Feb 5 @ 10:38 PM EST
    A1 i love to share the story of WD-40 and Formula 409 - Thomas Edison's lightbulb....nothing worthwhile is easy #IEedchat
  • jswilliams Feb 5 @ 10:39 PM EST
    A2: HS students who struggle with reading and writing often are disillusioned as they keep looking at the destination rather than the series of steps they overcome on the journey. Celebrate the small and big wins on the journey and not just the destination. #IEedchat
  • AshleyMSJC5 Feb 5 @ 10:39 PM EST
    I want to hear about WD40! #IEedchat
    In reply to @julie_borgmann
  • rguztec Feb 5 @ 10:39 PM EST
    A2: We need to make Ss realize that learning does not stop, it keeps moving as information keeps building up about things. Learning is not stagnant #IEedchat
  • judykaylane Feb 5 @ 10:39 PM EST
    A1: so many good Youtube videos on subject and we have to model and get w/the program ourselves #IEedchat
  • BabySpiceHunter Feb 5 @ 10:40 PM EST
    A2: Always post Learning Objectives or essential questions for lessons. #IEedchat

    Q2 is there an end for learning? reading skills need constant reinforcing - I tell my kids someday they'll be voters and need to read their ballots #IEedchat
  • JSynnott1 Feb 5 @ 10:40 PM EST
    A2: To love learning, you have to feel successful at it and it has to be fun. Highlight how students have grown and how they can do things now that they couldn't a few months ago, even if that isn't mastery of a certain standard #ieedchat
  • AshleyMSJC5 Feb 5 @ 10:41 PM EST
    A2: If students are excited and interested in what they are learning, they will discard the "is this for a grade" mindset and will be more likely to pursue learning for the love of it. #IEedchat
  • MathButler Feb 5 @ 10:41 PM EST
    A1: teaching anything is about getting the learner to process. Bring in reflection. Build a portfolio. Any subject. @geoffkrall shares an example in math: https://t.co/Pzbo4nKdYE #ieedchat
  • MRoarkPMP Feb 5 @ 10:41 PM EST
    A1) I think you have to admit that you’re learning too. Including from them! #IEedchat
  • bquentin3 Feb 5 @ 10:41 PM EST
    #IEedchat Sorry, TX lurking on the CA chat, but I always compare mental exercise to physical exercise. Muscles get stronger through hard work, so does your brain.

    Q3: How can we create environments where intellectual struggle is embraced? #IEedchat #growthmindset
  • judykaylane Feb 5 @ 10:42 PM EST
    A2: so hard because of traditional grading; some things need to change in the system #IEedchat
  • jswilliams Feb 5 @ 10:43 PM EST
    A3: Students will embrace the struggle when they own the learning. Embrace Visible Learning and have a classroom in which students see their growth. #ieedchat
  • MRoarkPMP Feb 5 @ 10:43 PM EST
    Joining #ieedchat while sitting on the 10 while police lock it down...
  • julie_borgmann Feb 5 @ 10:43 PM EST
    A3 by first embracing different learners - offering another way to solve, phrase, etc. Because then we grow - mistakes happen to us all - but growing from them is the important part #IEedchat
  • DeatraLee_Edu Feb 5 @ 10:44 PM EST
    A1: This article https://t.co/f2baMW0bqz shares strategies on explicitly teaching Ss about neuroplasticity. #IEedchat #growthmindset
  • JSynnott1 Feb 5 @ 10:44 PM EST
    A3: Creating a problem or scenario that students have to work to solve fosters intellectual struggle. BreakoutEdu activities are a good example of this. #ieedchat
  • rguztec Feb 5 @ 10:44 PM EST
    A3:Fail in front of your Ss, to show them you are human. Let them know that their is a process in learning and that its a constant strive to attain answers to questions. The process is important, not just the solution #IEedchat
  • ieedchat - Moderator Feb 5 @ 10:45 PM EST
    Q4: How can we create opportunities to publicly celebrate ‘mistakes’? #IEedchat #growthmindset
  • BabySpiceHunter Feb 5 @ 10:45 PM EST
    A3: Having Students self-evaluate is important for them to see their growth and figuring out what they struggled on. Reflecting is best too! #IEedchat
  • MathButler Feb 5 @ 10:45 PM EST
    A2: Talk about themes and practices explicitly. Standards are important but they are many. In each Math, ELA, and Science there are core practices that stretch across multiple grades. Put those at front ofnconversation. Key overlap from 3 is evidence based argument. #ieedchat
  • julie_borgmann Feb 5 @ 10:45 PM EST
    also great for cooperation - embracing one another's strengths! #IEedchat

  • AshleyMSJC5 Feb 5 @ 10:45 PM EST
    The 15N was stop and go. I barely made it home in time for this. Good thing you have #Tesla auto pilot and enhanced cruise control, lol. #IEedchat
    In reply to @MRoarkPMP
  • judykaylane Feb 5 @ 10:45 PM EST
    A3: another hard one; I think we have to truly embrace it ourselves, easier said than done, but I'm goin for it #IEedchat
  • rguztec Feb 5 @ 10:45 PM EST
    A4:Create design challenges in your classroom and include yourself, this will show your Ss that you also fail at things. #IEedchat
  • julie_borgmann Feb 5 @ 10:46 PM EST
    I've fallen 4 times...have the scars to prove it - DO NOT recommend this ;-) at least in the literal sense #IEedchat
    In reply to @rguztec
  • jswilliams Feb 5 @ 10:46 PM EST
    A4: When learning alongside students I would share things I used to do and let them know how I do things now. The students would in turn have the frame “I used to ____ and now I _____” to help them see how they have grown. #ieedchat
  • DeatraLee_Edu Feb 5 @ 10:46 PM EST
    A2: If we focus praise and feedback on the learning process rather than a final grade. #IEedchat #growthmindset
  • MRoarkPMP Feb 5 @ 10:46 PM EST
    A3) What about if they get to share what they learn with others? Encourage the learning and comprehension. #IEedchat
  • BaynesHeidi Feb 5 @ 10:46 PM EST
    A3. Mastery-based grading is key, but its implementation on a broad-scale will be challenging. #ieedchat #growthmindset
  • rguztec Feb 5 @ 10:47 PM EST
    ouch, its better to fail in front of them then to fall on them #IEedchat
    In reply to @julie_borgmann
  • MathButler Feb 5 @ 10:47 PM EST
    A3: More discussion about how you did something, not just what you ended up with. Compare multiple responses. 5 practices for orchestrating math discussion = great example. https://t.co/SklDHhDOAB #ieedchat
  • judykaylane Feb 5 @ 10:48 PM EST
    A4: that usually begins w/me publicly celebrating my mistakes-I try to admit when I'm wrong and celebrate when a S shows me the way #IEedchat
  • rguztec Feb 5 @ 10:48 PM EST
    My bad, I didn't even take into account skirts and dresses #IEedchat
    In reply to @julie_borgmann
  • MathButler Feb 5 @ 10:48 PM EST
    A4: Don’t point it out as a mistake for one. It’s a response. Get more responses. Push the students to critique and edify it. #ieedchat
  • ieedchat - Moderator Feb 5 @ 10:49 PM EST
    Q5: How much class time should be spent developing a growth mindset? #IEedchat #growthmindset
  • BabySpiceHunter Feb 5 @ 10:49 PM EST
    A4: I have a "Change your Mindset" bulletin that I point out when Ss have a fixed mindset. #IEedchat
  • judykaylane Feb 5 @ 10:49 PM EST
    A3: we celebrate growth at least weekly in my Reading classes #IEedchat
  • jswilliams Feb 5 @ 10:49 PM EST
    A5: Don't spend time on anything. Invest time on things that matter. Everything you do in your class should be on purpose. Everything you have students do should have a purpose. #IEedchat
  • julie_borgmann Feb 5 @ 10:49 PM EST
    Q4 I have an error wall - where students have looked at what they did, where they went wrong, why they made that error, and corrected it #IEedchat
  • JSynnott1 Feb 5 @ 10:50 PM EST
    A4: Agree with @judykaylane here, we have to be able to show them we make mistakes and share stories of how we learned from them #IEedchat
  • rguztec Feb 5 @ 10:50 PM EST
    A5:Growth Mindset should be included in your entire lesson, you need to give them wings and prepare them to fly..... skies the limit #IEedchat
  • BabySpiceHunter Feb 5 @ 10:50 PM EST
    A5: Developing growth mindset is one of those teachable moments that you can have everyday in class. Even if it is just that one S #IEedchat
  • MRoarkPMP Feb 5 @ 10:50 PM EST
    A4) Sometimes non-perfection or a misstep will end up with a better result in the end. Definitely share worthy times then. #IEedchat
  • JSynnott1 Feb 5 @ 10:51 PM EST
    A5: I think addressing a growth mindset is something that needs to be infused naturally in a classroom, everyday and as opportunity presents itself #ieedchat
  • DeatraLee_Edu Feb 5 @ 10:51 PM EST
    A3: Provide Ss w/ authentic audiences & time to struggle & think. #IEedchat #growthmindset
  • AshleyMSJC5 Feb 5 @ 10:52 PM EST
    A5: I think that around 100% of class time should be spent developing a growth mindset, but I don't think my students would ever be AWARE that that is what I am doing. It should just be the culture of the class. #IEedchat
  • julie_borgmann Feb 5 @ 10:52 PM EST
    A5 All day every day should be intentionally spent on developing a growth mindset. Growth Mindset is a life skill not just an academic one. #IEedchat
  • MathButler Feb 5 @ 10:52 PM EST
    A5: Growth mindset isn’t a packaged lesson to be completed, or specifically programmed. It’s a mindset. It’s constant appropriate commentary. It’s readjustment in praising effort and growth over benchmark performance. The marks will come if the focus is right. #ieedchat
  • ieedchat - Moderator Feb 5 @ 10:53 PM EST
    Q6: Should intervention classes use growth mindset curriculum? #IEedchat #growthmindset
  • jswilliams Feb 5 @ 10:53 PM EST
    A6: Without a doubt the growth mindset needs to be they way we do things in intervention classes. In my ELA class, growth mindset was the only way to get students out of the loop of negative feedback. #IEedchat
  • judykaylane Feb 5 @ 10:53 PM EST
    A5: Yaass! #IEedchat
    • BabySpiceHunter Feb 5 @ 10:50 PM EST
      A5: Developing growth mindset is one of those teachable moments that you can have everyday in class. Even if it is just that one S #IEedchat
  • julie_borgmann Feb 5 @ 10:53 PM EST
    A6 Intervention Ss need growth mindset even more so. They're already at a mindset disadvantage - it's all about perspective! #IEedchat
  • DeatraLee_Edu Feb 5 @ 10:54 PM EST
    A4: discussions, peer feedback, and time for reflection. Present it as growth & learning rather than 'mistakes'. #IEedchat #growthmindset
  • AshleyMSJC5 Feb 5 @ 10:55 PM EST
    A6: Intervention classes are MOST important to impart the belief that everyone can learn and be successful. #IEedchat
  • JSynnott1 Feb 5 @ 10:55 PM EST
    A6: Absolutely. I don't see how an intervention class could be taught effectively if growth mindset were not a part of it #IEedchat
  • MathButler Feb 5 @ 10:55 PM EST
    A6: I’ve heard @MathProjects share strong evidence of this from some of his classes. I would replace the word “curriculum” with “practices”. These are habits, behaviors, minds being shaped. It’s more about what’s going on w/ the human, less about content on the page. #ieedchat
  • ieedchat - Moderator Feb 5 @ 10:56 PM EST
    Any final thoughts on growth mindset? #IEedchat #growthmindset
  • DeatraLee_Edu Feb 5 @ 10:56 PM EST
    A5: Growth mindset should be part of the classroom culture. Feedback and interactions in the class should reflect this mindset. #IEedchat #growthmindset
  • MRoarkPMP Feb 5 @ 10:56 PM EST
    A6) Should any class not adopt a growth mindset? (Hint, no) #IEedchat
  • ISU_MsRichards Feb 5 @ 10:56 PM EST
    A0: My name is Madison McKim-Richards, and I am an elementary education student in Iowa. One time I had a productive struggle while learning was when I was trying to create my first lesson plan using TPACK. It was really challenging with not having a TPACK background. #IEedchat
  • rguztec Feb 5 @ 10:57 PM EST
    A6:Growth Mindset is crucial for intervention classes, most of those Ss need a glimmer of positivity in their life #IEedchat
  • judykaylane Feb 5 @ 10:57 PM EST
    A6: maybe even more than 100% https://t.co/Fv7G35RVlx #IEedchat
  • DeatraLee_Edu Feb 5 @ 10:58 PM EST
    A6: This is a free resource https://t.co/eCoq79MCy8 with lessons & strategies to teach students a growth mindset. #IEedchat #growthmindset

    Final thoughts on #IEedchat Great works are performed not by strength but by perseverance. ~Samuel Johnson
  • ISU_MsRichards Feb 5 @ 10:58 PM EST
    A1: One way that we can seek to teach our students that our brains get stronger when we're challenged is by purposely integrating lessons that teach them that "failures" help us learn and grow. In essence, giving them a lesson where there aren't obvious answers. #IEedchat
  • MRoarkPMP Feb 5 @ 10:58 PM EST
    FT: We all slip into a fixed mindset at some point, and it’s important as a culture to remind and support each other of the growth opportunities. #supportyourcoworkers #IEedchat
  • rguztec Feb 5 @ 10:58 PM EST
    FT:Growth mindset is what allowed me to continue amidst the struggles I encountered in my education. They told me I coudn't, but I believed I could. #SiSePuede #IEedchat
  • DeatraLee_Edu Feb 5 @ 10:59 PM EST
    Agree! I still struggle with this framework. #IEedchat #growthmindset

  • MathButler Feb 5 @ 10:59 PM EST
    TPACK is a goodie. Fond in my heart. And mos def a struggle to hit all the details. We are wrapping up #ieedchat in just a minute but grab the questions from https://t.co/hl9LQBC8Mj Would love to hear you input on each.
