A Message from Dr. P
At Oakland, we talk a lot about F.A.I.L. and growth mindset. A couple of people have shared the image below and, as we head into the second half of the year, I find it most appropriate to share with you. My encouragement to you (along with this week's tidbit) is to find excitement and joy in the process. We are all growing, we are all learning. I desire this to be the "mindset" of our faculty as well as our students. As you watch the following video, think to the importance of helping our students set goals, understand learning objectives, and personalize instruction. This week, lets all make a concerted effort to praise the process to promote a growth mindset in all of us (adult & child)!
