Comes from the fail forward mindset I'd say; good things come from picking yourself back up and trying again

I def have. I think I just try to celebrate a small step. I also don't believe much in hard fast deadlines so kids have more opps

A2 Interesting question. Growth mindset would say nurture, right? Everyone can learn to have more toughness for the right reasons
#ctedu

Do you use praise when you celebrate or extrinsic rewards?
#ctedu
In reply to @RuthKidwell

Praise. I try to encourage, point out strengths and avenues for growth. Extrinsic reward often backfire in my experience at hs level

A2: I believe that people can be nurtured in many ways and this is def one that needs to be taught
#ctedu
fostered in the school setting
robinsonchris7
Apr 18 @ 8:19 PM EDT
With the social media and instant response that they get how has that effected the celebration?

Q3: How do you develop mental toughness in yourself, Ts and Ss?
#ctedu
RuthKidwell
Apr 18 @ 8:24 PM EDT
A3 It has a lot to do w knowing the purpose of what I'm striving for. If I've struggled or been criticized, why is it I should fight
#ctedu
robinsonchris7
Apr 18 @ 8:25 PM EDT
A3: Challenging tasks & projects for myself, Ss provide opportunities for rigor & celebrate the small
#ctedu

Apr 18 @ 8:26 PM EDT
I really like this phrase "knowing the purpose" does this help with others?
#ctedu
In reply to @RuthKidwell

A3 also I remind myself and sts that we're our own worst critics
#ctedu
RuthKidwell
Apr 18 @ 8:27 PM EDT
I like to think so. Especially with colleagues. When they're struggling need to look to ultimate purpose of tough work

RuthKidwell

Same! I'm a dweller. If I think I've done/said the wrong thing I can't get it out of my head. Part of mental toughness is moving on!
