  • 2/9 Promoting the Growth Mindset

    Friday              February 9                   11:00 – 12:15  Promoting the Growth Mindset                 

    We will discuss how we can promote and encourage the growth mindset in our students by addressing practices such as:

     

    • grading strategies that reward process as well as product

    • praising improvement and not just ability

    • providing feedback that directs students to strategies for improvement

    • incorporating reflection and goal-setting

    • identifying optimal levels of challenge at each step of the learning process
