Growth Mindset: REAL







When it comes to growth mindset I think that it requires these four things I have listed above. A teacher should recognize each student as an individual, instead of as a whole. Each student learns differently and has different strengths and weaknesses. Before teaching a student something a teacher must recognize how the student best learns and what he/she struggles with. From there teachers should move to encouragement instead of criticism. It's so easy to put a terrible grade on the paper and leave out the efforts that were put into an assignment or test, but before you can correct what is wrong it is best to point out what is right. From there we move to adapt. If a teacher has already recognized how a student best learns, it is important they adapt to their learning style. If a teacher wishes to have growth mindset in the class, they must be willing to meet each student where they are at individually. Lastly, once the first three things happen a student is able to learn and be pushed into improving in areas specifically created for him/her.

    Briana, I am actually going to save that photo you utilized in your post! It makes sense that teachers should recognize a student's abilities, how they learn and adapt and encourage them in the end. What is great about that photo and acronym, is that it can be applied with anyone and any scenario, as well, other than with teachers. People should recognize and be mindful of others and the situation(s) they are in while also being able to learn and adapt during the occasion. Encouragement should also happen before, during and after these scenarios, because we should not discourage or judge others, but help them to understand and improve. Great post!

Hello there!! My name is Briana (Bri-aw-nuh), but to keep it simple you can call me Bri! I am an Entrepreneurship Major, and I LOVE it. The way I love to describe my major is that its the "fun" business major. It's all about being creative, thinking outside the box, and solving problems in the real world through a product or service! Its collaborative friendly and encourages team work for pretty much every assignment. I went into my major blindly, but I can't imagine studying anything else.  Since we just got done with summer break I think a lot of who I am is summed up by what I did this summer! I got the amazing opportunity to live in the mountains of Colorado investing into the lives of 16 year olds while walking through scripture with them. I basically got paid to pretend like I was in high school again, and got to do fun things like hike, zip-line, bowl, and so many other things. To change things up a bit I'll provide my summer video that I compiled!...

Week 6 Story: Sleeping Aurrie

Once upon a time, in another land far far away was a king named Hubert. King Hubert was one of the greatest men alive. Not only did his people adore him for his kingship, but they also adored him for his selfless, king hearted mentality. King Hubert was a great king and husband, but he knew he'd be an even greater father.  For years him and his wife were trying to conceive, but time after time they were unable to. King Hubert refused to accept defeat. In the middle of the night he snuck away to go visit Mal, the witch of the kingdom. Mal had nappy, greasy black hair, a wart the size of a tomato on the side of her nose, and her skin was a slight tint of green. When king Hubert arrived Mal knew there was something up, the king barely even acknowledged her most days. The king began to explain his and his wife's troubles and Mal grew angry inside. She knew where the conversation was going and thought to herself: "How dare this man expect anything from me when he has neve...
