AMCMS Principal's Office
What is going on in the Principal's Office?
My Challenge to You
Take three minutes and watch the video above.
What are you taking away from this very short yet powerful clip? I am taking away the importance of focusing on the process of learning, the hard work, the time, the effort, the attention to detail. As Dweck has been able to show through her research students that show growth do so when they are praised based on their efforts and not in their "intelligence" level.
Actually telling someone they are "so smart" can be a detriment to them. Because of the fear of failure and not being "so smart" students begin to shy away from risk taking and pushing their own learning. It is not unusual for students to not want to do anything new and different because of the fear of the unknown. They would rather do what they know and likely know their outcome than do something new that they cannot predict the outcome and results.
Thinking of any particular students yet? How about adults, do any adults you know come to mind?
As adults we have to be willing to AND actually put ourselves in a state of stretch to grow as well. Growing is hard, that is why it is called growing pains folks. But just think what this world would be like without growth and change? We would still be riding horses.
Think. Achieve. Succeed.
