    Educators with a growth mindset take risks and allow others to take risks too, without fear of failure. #Wischat

    It's difficult to cultivate a growth mindset in kids if you do not possess one yourself. It begins with analyzing our own practice. #Wischat
  • ERTOlson Jan 29 @ 8:35 PM EST
    A4: Feedback has to target the learning journey! If we stress too much about the outcome, we fail to see the beauty in the process. #wischat
  • brettdimmer Jan 29 @ 8:35 PM EST
    A4 #wischat Focus on learning, not grade/points. Don't allow Ss to talk abt how to "bring up grade" or "get more pts" -focus on mastery
