Developing a Growth Mindset-Educators

Here is an article that I found while doing some personal PD.  I wanted to read some articles on Edutopia about educators and growth mindset.  Edutopia is a great site to search for articles that are relevant and easy to get through.

As we move into a time where we start to work with our students on mindset, it is important to reflect back on our own mindset.  The last few delays have been designed to help the staff in that process.

Consider these questions after looking at the linked article:

1.  I find tip #1 very interesting.  I can tell you what those "hard things" are that I don't focus on enough.  What are your "hard things" that you choose not to focus on?

2.  Tip #3 is to seek feedback when possible.  A few of your colleagues have been observing each other (or have planned to) in an effort to see what other people are doing in their rooms and get feedback.  Is that something you could consider?

3.  Tip #5 reminds us to reflect.  Reflecting back on the day, week, month, or year is useful in any field.  How can you spend more time reflecting on what is happening daily in your classroom?
