How is everyone doing on the this cold night? My name is Bill Spurlock, I am the Director of Rutherford County Schools. Let’s have everyone introduce themselves.#rcstechchat
Hi everyone! I'm Kayla Weller, tech coach at WBMS. Technical difficulties almost had me tonight, but I'm here, and excited to be with you all tonight! #RCSTechChat
A1- A growth mindset is the belief that intelligence can be developed. Students with a growth mindset understand they can get smarter through hard work. #rcstechchat
A1. No matter who you are, or what you know...you can always GROW. Teachers and students must share the common belief that we are constantly growing and that every day provides us new opportunities for growth. #rcstechchat
A1: A growth mindset means that your abilities, your possibilities, and your capabilities are not fixed in time. People can always learn new things, and a growth mindset looks to adapt that into a way of thinking. Everyone can learn, but maybe not all in the same way.#RCSTechChat
#RCSTechChat A1 One of the underlying beliefs around a #growthmindset is that no individual is ever at their end product. Our lives (and our students' lives) are a journey.
A1That everyone has opportunities to learn and grow in all that we do. We may not all finished at the same level but we all have the capability to improve and Achieve #rcstechchat
A1 The belief behind growth mindset is that if you believe you can learn and put in the effort, you will have growth. Its about growth in learning vs. seeking perfection. #RCSTechChat
A1: Growth mindset is the focus on learning being continual. My daughter just taught herself to whistle today. She's 4. Just because she couldn't do it yesterday doesn't mean she can't now. #rcstechchat

YES! They have to understand that mistakes are not stopping points. They are part of the learning process. And we adults have to recognize this too. #RCSTechChat
A2 - when students know how they learn best they are able to achieve success more often, building the confidence to challenge themselves further!#RCSTechchat
Q2: Self-awareness is important to any type of learning. When you know how you learn, you can focus your energy on learning in that way, minimizing frustration for all. This is where teachers and students have to communicate with each other. #RCSTechChat
A2: If students realize how they learn best then they are more likely to take ownership in their learning and be more involved. As educators we should be striving to help our students come to these conclusions in the most productive way!
#RCSTechChat
A2: If students know how they learn best they can always adapt materials on their own to fit their style if a task isn't formatted in that way. It is also a great discussion tool for teacher/student! #RCSTechChat
A2. Hattie says that students that self evaluate them selves correctly will learn the best. They must be honest on how successful they are and how they learn.
#RCSTechChat
A2. Knowing how they learn gives them power to control their learning which is a vital life skill to help them reach their fullest potential!#rcstechchat
A2 - when students know how they learn best they are able to achieve success more often, building the confidence to challenge themselves further!
#RCSTechChat
A2 In my sp ed world, our goal is for them to be able to advocate for themsleves. They need to be able to 1) communicate and 2) when faced w/difficulties, ask for what they need, in a way they can understand. They can only do that if they know how they learn best #RCSTechChat
Hello all! Mr. Lafferty here...Glad we have such a “connected” group of teachers and staff who are always willing to challenge themselves and each other to learn and grow...#rcstechchat
A2 it is important for students to understand their learning style as that is part of a growth mindset! Having different learning tactics will allow students to find success whixh goes hand in hand with a growth mindset ! #RCSTechChat
A2. Through this awareness and understanding children will be able to acquire, retain, and transfer their knowledge. They will become self-aware learners. #RCSTechChat
A2. When they know how they learn best, together, the teacher and the student can strategize instruction to a concept crystal clear and experience success! #rcstechchat
I always share how I learn best at the beginning of the year, and I tell them how to change things when I don't get the material to fit my learning style. Modeling is key in us helping them! #RCSTechChat
A2: If students realize how they learn best then they are more likely to take ownership in their learning and be more involved. As educators we should be striving to help our students come to these conclusions in the most productive way!
#RCSTechChat
A2: Learning is lifelong. It has to continue beyond "school" and a teacher instructing. If students know how they learn best, they can equip themselves for learning beyond the classroom when independent, in the workplace, and in college #RCSTechChat
A2- students need to discover ways they learn, although do not relay on just one method. Students need to be challenged in various methods. #RCSTechChat
I always share how I learn best at the beginning of the year, and I tell them how to change things when I don't get the material to fit my learning style. Modeling is key in us helping them! #RCSTechChat

#RCSTechChat
A2. To take ownership of both their strengths and weaknesses, so they can be confident in their strength, but aware of areas for improvement. We should all be aware of both. #rcstechchat
A2) The earlier we develop self-awareness, the better we will know how to adapt to challenges. Shifting our focus as teachers from teaching to learning empowers that self-awareness and student voice. #rcstechchat
A2 It is helpful for students to understand how they learn because 1) they can apply the strategies that work best for them to their lesson 2) when using these strategies they are likely more engaged. #RCSTechChat
A2. If the students know how they learn best, then they can help themselves to knowledge. For example, if a student is hands on then having manipulatives ready for that child will only make them better! #RCSTechChat
A2: there are many types of learning, so knowing how to play to your strengths and also shore up your weaknesses is an important step in taking charge of your learning process.
#RCSTechChat
A2) The earlier we develop self-awareness, the better we will know how to adapt to challenges. Shifting our focus as teachers from teaching to learning empowers that self-awareness and student voice. #rcstechchat

Q3: What is neuroplasticity, and how does it help in developing a growth mindset? Remember to tweet A3, followed by your answer, and ending with.#rcstechchat
A2: When students know how they learn best, teachers can use this information to meet the individual needs of all the students in their room. This is where differentiation begins. #RCSTechChat
Q3: What is neuroplasticity, and how does it help in developing a growth mindset? Remember to tweet A3, followed by your answer, and ending with.#rcstechchat
A3: neuroplasticity is the change in the brain throughout your life. A changing brain means changing needs and requirements to continue to grow #RCSTechChat
A3. Neuroplasticity is the study of how the brain is constantly changing and that through exercising the brain, we can constantly grow the capacity of our mind. This is the foundation of a growth mindset in that we are never done growing #rcstechchat
A3: I'm gonna go ahead and admit that I'm not Googling this first, so my answer might change in a few minutes, but neuroplasticity is the ability of the brain to change and adapt over time, specifically through experience. #RCSTechChat
A3: Had to look this up, and I know that I do this all the time. It's the ability for our brain to reorganize. This is a great tool for kids for GMS because it shows that there are multiple solutions to the same question. You can change it to better understand! #RCSTechChat
A3 Neuroplasticity is the ability of our brains to change over time. This can be impacted by the type and amount of information we take in. Basically, its the ability to rewire our brains. As students put in effort, take information and learn, their brains adapt. #RCSTechChat
A3: It is the ability for the brain to make a lasting change. #thanksGoogle
It helps in developing a growth mindset by allowing the brain to constantly change and grow.
#RCSTechChat
A3: It is the ability of the brain to change and grow. When mistakes are made, synapses fire, and new connections are made. We talked a lot about brain science at the beginning of the year to get student buy-in. #RCSTechChat
A3: your brain is always changing, always capable of change - no matter your age. This means skills that are hard for you *can* be mastered; there's no such thing as a permanent plateau.

#RCSTechChat
A3 (guessing here, didn't google) Neuroplasticity may be how flexible your thinking/thought process/not-so-hard-wired neuron pathways are. And my guess would be you need nueroplasticity to have a really strong #growthmindset 😀#RCSTechChat
A3: Neuroplasticity is how your brain changes due to growth, experiences, perseverance, etc. It’s why we should never stop learning and challenging ourselves. #RCSTechChat
A3-
Our brains are constantly changing and growing. We are never done growing and we need to express this to our students as well. Get them in on the secret that you never stop growing. Often they say their brain is full. Let them know it can't happen!
#RCSTechChat
A3 Neuroplasticity means that our brains are constantly being shaped! This is important in a growth mindset because one can create a new way of learning new information! #RCSTechChat
I really wonder if this has something to do with the Mandela Effect as well...random, but interesting because my kids are obsessed with this! If you don't know it, look it up! Crazy cool! #RCSTechChat
A3: When I think about plastics and all their applications, they are so useful because they stretch and mold. Our brains are like that- constantly changing and rearranging. It's our adaptability which makes us successful! #RCSTechChat
A3. Our brain’s ability to be act is routine to previous situations and activities. We must be present and mindful to truly change our way of thinking, which is only possible in understanding it creates new stimuli and interactions to do so. #RCSTechChat
A3: Neuroplasticity is the study of how the brain can adapt and change through time. Again leading back to- we should never stop learning and growing! #RCSTechChat
A3- @ClassDojo has a great series on #growthmindset and videos that show students how their Brain is a muscle that can grow stronger! Student LOVE it! #RCSTechChat
A3. Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to change over time. The human brain can grow when you do mental exercise. It basically means our brains are not fixed.
#RCSTechChat
A2 If students & teachers know their learning styles then it empowers their ability to learn in the classroom. Students can ask for assistance from a teacher in a specific way. #rcstechchat
A1: Growth mindset means the ability to teach your brain that you can achieve and understand content or materials. It just may take more time and multiple ways of learning. #RCSTechChat
A3. The brain continually reorganizes itself to make connections. It actually is our own growth mind set...if we will listen, reflect, practice, and model-share it with others #rcstechchat
Q4: Why is focusing on the process more important to a growth mindset than focusing on the end results? Tweet A4, followed by answer, and ending with #rcstechchat
A3. Neuroplasticity is the way the brain changes over time. If we reshape our way of thinking and train our students to do the same with a growth mindset, we can create lifelong learners that continue to grow and learn from every opportunity or problem. #RCSTechChat
A2: If students know how they learn best, students can take ownership in their learning. They are more willing to learn from a teacher that is willing to use multiple strategies to teach content. #RCSTechChat
A4: If we are more focused on the process the outcome will be natural. When we are focusing on the outcome the learning does not have the same meaning.
#RCSTechChat
A4. If you truly focus on the process and give the students a chance to be successful, then the end result will follow. You have to focus on YET. #RCSTechChat
A4: Students need to see the process not the final product. In a world of "final products" these kids needs to focus on the work that gets you there. They get so upset that they are Kobe or Curry but they don't see the effort that goes into it! #RCSTechChat
Q4: Why is focusing on the process more important to a growth mindset than focusing on the end results? Tweet A4, followed by answer, and ending with #rcstechchat
A4: Growth is continual - the process is what matters. If we focus instead on the end result, then we meet it or fail and either way it's over. There's no defeat in the process, only momentum.
#RCSTechChat
Q4: Why is focusing on the process more important to a growth mindset than focusing on the end results? Tweet A4, followed by answer, and ending with #rcstechchat
Q4 Focusing in the process teaches one to become life learners! A growth mindset is to learn how to continually learn;therefore, the process is more inmportant than a result #RCSTechChat
Q4: Because we are always learning and growing and so are our students. There is always a next step in learning. The growth process should never end. #RCSTechChat
Feed thy sheep...
The O who walks on water presided over the weakest economy on record, but credits the Oil boom and economic growth as his own.
A D creates an oil boom? 👀
Sheep lap it up.
Poor O, he forgot the Queen ran on how weak the economy was.
https://t.co/Rf0xYJrOVT
A4 the process is always more important than the answer. We need to teach students to think about their thinking which empowers them to grasp tomorrow’s opportunities. We are preparing students for jobs that don’t even exist yet. They have to know how to think. #rcstechchat
A4. As a sports lover, if we focused on the loss of a game and not what ways we could improve, we would continue to lose more games. The same in the classroom-focus should be on changing how we got to the end result #rcstechchat
A4 When you focus on the process of learning something new, and you see yourself being succeesful, you can count on "retracing your steps" (figuratively) the next time you learn something new and hope for the same results. #RCSTechChat
A4 The process teaches students how to get from point A to point B and therefore have growth. It does not teach them to get from A-Z in one step. They need to learn in increments, make mistakes, repeat and then eventually move on. #RCSTechChat
A3: Neuroplasticity is the ability for the brain to change throughout a person's life. If a person has a growth mindset, their brain adapts to the circumstance or situation. They can continuously grow and lead . #RCSTechChat
A4 When you focus on process more than end results you are setting yourself up for higher success in future learning. Education is a journey. Set your students on their most successful journey possible. #RCSTechChat
This is such an interesting idea, because sometimes it is so hard to get them to focus on the process instead of "the right answer" and then also teach them that sometimes you do have to have the correct answer...like if your my doctor prescribing me meds #RCSTechChat
A4 the process is always more important than the answer. We need to teach students to think about their thinking which empowers them to grasp tomorrow’s opportunities. We are preparing students for jobs that don’t even exist yet. They have to know how to think. #rcstechchat
A4. It is what we learn in the process that truly empowers our passion for growth. To be curious is crucial. “The best teachers are those who show you where to look, but don’t tell you what to see.” #RCSTechChat
A4- By working on the process of learning, students will grow. The end result is not always the factor that causes future growth and learning.
#RCSTechChat
A4 The process....the challenge.....the struggle.....is where we learn and grow and continually get better. The end result will come......in the end. #deepthoughts#rcstechchat
We have to empower our student to LOVE solving problems, to be inquisitive and to know they can solve those problems. We need to encourage them to seek out unique solution... as most modern discoveries have evolved from. #rcstechchat
A4: If we are going to be developing globally competitive lifelong learners, focusing on the process is essential. Self re-training and re-education will be essential for the 21st century workforce. #rcstechchat
a4 The process will ultimately lead to an achieved end result. I will always believe if you give the confidence to a student, they will have the confidence to achieve. The end result will be winning for all #rcstechchat
A2 I believe this is just another piece of the puzzle toward becoming a self-assessment learner. If you know where you are and know where you’re going, figuring out the best way for you to get there is the other half of the battle. #rcstechchat
Anyone can be taught how to get an answer. It is more beneficial to everyone when individuals can solve a problem on their own with the knowledge they have gained along the way! #AlwaysGrowing#RCSTechChat

A4: Growth mindset gives a better end result. Students never stop learning which makes the end result never ending. Students are always learning and figuring out how to problem solve simple and complex ideas and situations. #RCSTechChat
A4: Learning is a journey and an adventure. There are successes and failures all which make up the learning process. We learn from our mistakes and grow from them. So do our kids. We can begin with the end in mind by setting goals without focusing on the end result #rcstechchat
A4: The process (skill) is what we need students to repeat time and again so they can apply it to different situations. The end result (grade) holds little value long term. I couldn't tell you what I scored on most all my school work. Hard to get S past the grade. #RCSTechChat
Q5: Why does rewarding effort and actions more important than identifying personal traits when it comes to fostering a growth mindset with students? Remember to tweet A5, followed by answer, and ending with.#rcstechchat

A4: Growth takes place when students experience the learning pit. They learn to work harder and see what they are made of. It’s where they grow as a person. #RCSTechChat
A5: When students do something that is creative or smart, we should tell them specifically what it is that they are doing that is creative for smart. Just telling them they are smart does not provide opportunity for personal growth.#rcstechchat

Q4: Why is focusing on the process more important to a growth mindset than focusing on the end results? Tweet A4, followed by answer, and ending with #rcstechchat
A5: This teaches other students that if they follow the effort that they too will succeed and be rewarded. This also shows them that even kids who don't *get it* right away can still get the right answer! #RCSTechChat
Q5: Why does rewarding effort and actions more important than identifying personal traits when it comes to fostering a growth mindset with students? Remember to tweet A5, followed by answer, and ending with.#rcstechchat
A5 rewarding actions and effort tells students that we are desiring their thinking. Edison was very rarely right, but his effort made those times he was “modern marvels” #RCSTechChat
A5 When you reward effort and actions that is highly motivating to the student who may struggle for the “correct” answer. If they are motivated and rewarded for their effort then the growth will come along. #RCSTechChat#strugglinglearner
A4 businesses understand that it takes product, people, and process to succeed. The same applies to teaching. The product might be the same for all our students but the process is what makes it click for the student. #RCSTechChat
A5: When students do something that is creative or smart, we should tell them specifically what it is that they are doing that is creative for smart. Just telling them they are smart does not provide opportunity for personal growth.#rcstechchat
A5 In a growth mindset every effort should be acknowledged, this is the underlying principal of neuroplasticity! This builds confidence with students which will breed success! #RCSTechChat
A5 - it is important for the student to understand what led to to the trait, that effort it what helps us grow! I always talk with my students about how much it is worth to know the effort you gave something, even if you fail! Failures teach us so many lessons
#RCSTechChat
A5. By rewarding the positive actions students will be more likely to repeat it. The more they do something, the more it will become a part of them. #RCSTechChat
A5: Rewarding effort and actions allows for learners to see they have possess what it takes to be successful! Our encouraging words can be their driving force for growth!
#RCSTechChat
A5. Rewarding effort inspires students “from the inside out”, instead of rewarding them “from the outside in” (right/wrong) by short term motivation. #RCSTechChat
A5 Effort and actions show that a student is trying and that they are in the process of learning. It’s that process that we want to encourage! #rcstechchat
A5 our students need to understand that our greatest mathematicians and scientist were not extremely smart, they were just extremely curious and tenacious in trying find a solution. Our students need to see the failures of our greatest minds #RCSTechChat
A5: celebrating success and effort is so important. As humans we thrive off of it! Kids also need it for their confidence. Also, celebrating students can help them to believe in themselves. This is important for growth in school and in life. #RCSTechChat
Q5 In Sp Ed, my students struggle with their personal traits sometimes. We focus on acknowledging their effort and rewarding their actions. We have to help them understand where they are in the learning process and reward them for participating in it. #RCSTechChat
A5: It is so important for students to see potential- potential in themselves and others. Teachers need to reward effort because it demonstrates student work toward growth. #RCSTechChat
A5 our students need to understand that our greatest mathematicians and scientist were not extremely smart, they were just extremely curious and tenacious in trying find a solution. Our students need to see the failures of our greatest minds #RCSTechChat
A5 Identifying areas of growth (even small amounts), effort made and celebrating mistakes helps kids understand that they're going to fail and that’s ok. If we acknowledge the effort, they will keep working. #RCSTechChat
Rewarding efforts and actions help motivate students and guide them along the way. A little step for one student could be a huge step for another. Sometimes the guidance given leads to exceptional growth. #RCSTechChat
A5: students need to know what they do well. Giving them strong descriptive feedback helps them grow and understand what it means to work hard and give their best effort. #RCSTechChat
A5. Growth Mindset is based on effort. When students are praised for effort, they want the challenge of new tasks that they can learn from. Celebrate and reward students so they believe in themselves and push themselves to greatness. #RCSTechChat
A5. Without effort and action, there aren't the chances for deep learning. Anyone can attain a growth mindset with the right training. Encouraging that effort helps reshape their way of thinking. #RCSTechChat
A5 Rewarding any effort or action will push a person to do that same behavior again. It's human nature, if you are praised, you continue striving to get praised again. Rewards are not materialistic but instead a boost of confidence.
A5. Sometimes, when pertaining to personal traits, the same students are overly pursued. Praising effort and growth hits all and encourages others to fall in line #rcstechchat

A4: It is important for the students to understand the why and the how as they work to the end result. It allows them to not only find the solutions but to have the application of the skills. #rcstechchat
A5) Personal traits evolve and change. Incentives are the greatest driver of success across all spectrums. Results are impossible without effort. #RCSTechChat
A6: Because in order to grow, you have to be able to receive and use feedback given to you. It's not a negative thing. It's a resource to help you grow. You can't grow if you can't take the feedback. At least, not as quickly. #RCSTechChat
A6. For me at least before I do something right, I have to get it wrong. We all must listen to advice and criticism in order to become better. #RCSTechChat
Knowing that constructive criticism is only given to help you grow is the first step. If they think criticism is just tearing them down they need to discuss how that criticism is what will ultimately get them to where they want to be. You can't be great without it! #RCSTechChat
A6. The ability to receive constructive criticism is beyond important. But it is scary be cause the learner must be willing to put themselves out there. #RCSTechChat
A6 - if you are unable to receive and accept that criticism you are not able to improve! "It takes a village" also applies to our education!
#RCSTechChat
A6 Being able to accept constructive criticism enables one to learn from mistakes or even accepting different twtixa to leaning which will only “feed” the growth mindset #RCSTechChat
A6. Being able to take constructive criticism well and not as a dig at your answer is what helps you grow as a learner. Positive Mindset = Growth #RCSTechChat
A6 the ability to receive constructive criticism keeps our minds fertile and ready to grow. As teachers and leaders we must model this for our students and show we are able to grow as well. If I’m open to CC, I am admitting that I can and will Grow #RCSTechChat#Growthmindset
A6: For the brain to grow, you have to identify the mistakes and build on them. You can't get defensive; instead must channel it into getting better. #RCSTechChat
A6: In order to grow, we have to learn from our mistakes. Even as teachers. It’s important our students know that making mistakes is a part of learning and becoming better. #RCSTechChat
A6- Being able to receive constructive criticism is important for our students and us as adults. Being open to criticism is what allows us to identify weaknesses and areas of improvement #rcstechchat
A6: Having the ability to see constructive criticism as a tool that can be used to assist in the learning process is the ultimate sign of having a growth mindset. We want to learn and we want people to help us become better. #RCSTechChat
Knowing that constructive criticism is only given to help you grow is the first step. If they think criticism is just tearing them down they need to discuss how that criticism is what will ultimately get them to where they want to be. You can't be great without it! #RCSTechChat
A6: Being able to accept constructive criticism shows emotional maturity. Emotional maturity produces better decision making on the path to self improvement and growth. #rcstechchat
A6 Constructive feedback can be a great tool to learn from and adapt. Learning from mistakes......taking feedback and adapting to make yourself better. #rcstechchat
A6 Receiving constructive criticism is about ahivng an open mind, seeing things from others perspective. When your mind is open, and you can see others perspectives, this is an example of a #growthmindset#RCSTechChat
A^: This is critical! Constructive criticism allows for feedback that is meant specifically for you to grow. We ALL can grow. We ALL can improve. #neverstopgrowing#RCSTechChat
A6 Because you are able to learn from your mistakes and from others. Students who accept constructive criticism are willing to adjust and try again to get it right. #rcstechchat
A6 Constructive criticism is focused on improving, not being critical just to criticize. The purpose is to help them do better the next time=growth. We need to make sure our feedback is constructive & encourage students to use it to improve, not as a personal comment.#RCSTechChat
A6: Accepting we have room to grow, allows for the learner to continue to be successful. It also gives them the ability to look back at what has worked for them in the past and they can use those experiences to help them maintain their success!
#RCSTechChat#ThankYou&Goodnight
A6) The best organization and the most successful are those that are able to have difficult conversations and create action plans that provide solutions rather than barriers. An inability to give or receive criticism creates a stagnant environment. #RCSTechChat
A6:Criticism is what helps us grow! It can allow us to see and hear ourselves from another perspective. Being open to feedback from others can help you be your best YOU whether that be as a professional, a person, or a student. Also, others have insight to new ideas! #RCSTechChat
A6- Students understanding in receiving constructive criticism that you are only trying to to help them learn and grow. Having a basic relationship with students also allows them to know you care about their learning.
#RCSTechChat
A6. To learn, you have to be willing to take and accept constructive criticism. It needs to be in a way that students see where they are and help them figure out how to do better in the future. #RCSTechChat
A6 Constructive criticism is the best way to learn! It's an encouraging way to help someone learn from their mistakes. As teachers and instructional leaders, we should model a growth mindset and the ability to take constructive criticism as an opportunity to grow. #RCSTechChat
It's not just receiving the constructive criticism, though. We have to use it to make ourselves better. And we have to teach our kids how to do the same thing. This ability will help them deal with any type of adversity. #RCSTechChat
A6: Constructive criticism relates to professionalism. It is understanding what you do well and what you need to improve. Feedback allows you to grow and be more effective. I'm so appreciative of the community @LHSintheNews who help me be better everyday. #RiseUpLHS#RCSTechChat
a6 constructive criticism is the most powerful words of wisdom. It should be called feedback on the ladder to take one to the next step of their learning. #rcstechchat
A3: This is the ability for the brain to continue to learn and grow. Marcia Tate says it well with “worksheets don’t grow dendrites”. We must challenge our brains and expose them to new learnings with engaging activities. #rcstechchat
A6. Let’s face it: criticism stings, even to adults and even if it’s constructive. By sharing your own growth opportunities with your students, you let them know it happens to everyone and how it made you stronger #rcstechchat
