Weekly Coaching Communication
Make it a great day -- every day!
03 - 06 January 2017 -- Welcome to the NEW YEAR!
The coming of a new year offers a time of reflection and for resolutions -- a time for a fresh start. The beginning of the 2016-17 school year has not been without its need for reflection, fresh starts, and resolve.
For teachers, it is my hope that you have had opportunities to reflect on the start of this school year, have been refreshed from the winter break and have developed some resolve of how to move your teaching practice forward with SBL.
For students, it is also my hope that they take the time for reflection, see the opportunity for a fresh start, and find the resolve to do what they need to do to be successful in their classes and in their social and civic growth. Past experience tells me the students will need more help with this process and understanding than teachers.
I want to offer a short video for your viewing of what some students may need to hear to take a moment to reflect, see the second half of the 2016-17 as a fresh start, and build some resolve to deal with the adversity school provides for later in life.
Growth Mindset
Excerpted from Trevor Ragan and TrainUgly.com (click the link to access the playbook and other artifacts):
Model It and Live It
Key points:
Model the growth mindset
Take a horizontal approach: "we are all in this together"
Empower your players, students and employees
Have one-on-one conversations
The USA Women's Volleyball team is one of the best and using the growth mindset to create a better developmental atmosphere for the staff and players. Their coaches explain exactly how to infect an organization with a growth mindset.
