Culture of Growth: Growth in Students
Over the next several weeks, I will be sharing one video a week that illustrates practices and ideas to implement that foster a growth mindset in students. Though these practices and ideas can be implemented by individual teachers, there is power in consistency across a school community. You are encouraged to connect with your colleagues about your reflections and ideas about next steps for your classroom and for Sunset Valley.
Our Learning Target - I can explain structures and practices that promote a growth mindset in students.
Watch the video below, Students Own Their Progress: Using Data with Students, and reflect on the following questions:
- How does your school currently support students with using data?
- How would you like your school to use data with students?
- How does this practice promote a growth mindset for students?
