Growth Mindset or Fixed Mindset? What are you?
- "I can't deal with these kids."
- "Kids in 2019 don't Listen & are not motivated."
- "I can't teach a kid with parents like his/hers
- "This professional development isn't going to work."
- "I know how to teach, but these kids are hopeless."
- "My kids will never pass the tests."
- "Nothing is going to work."
- "This school is never going to be better."
- "No point in trying anymore.
Growth mindset teachers say...
- "I can learn how to inspire these kids."
- "How can I figure out how to make kids listen in 2019 & get motivated?"
- "How can I stop the bullying problem?"
- "What are ways I can get parents to help me?"
- "These are some great ideas I can use in my classroom."
- "I need to learn to bring hope to these students."
- "What are some strategies I can teach for these kids to pass tests?"
- "There must be something that can work."
- "How can I find a way to make my school better?"
- "What can I do to grow and keep trying?"
Just a little gut check, where are you this time of year? Where do our students need us to be?
