MISTAKES
As part of the Mindset activities with the students we are discussing types of mistakes.
- The stretch mistakes-Stretch mistakes happen when we’re working to expand our current abilities.
- The aha-moment mistakes-This happens when we achieve what we intend to do, but then realize that it was a mistake to do so because of some knowledge we lacked which is now becoming apparent.
- The sloppy mistakes-Sloppy mistakes happen when we’re doing something we already know how to do, but we do it incorrectly because we lose concentration.
- The high-stakes mistakes-Sometimes we don’t want to make a mistake because it would be catastrophic.
Why teaching middle school is the absolute best!
An article I came across gave reasons why teaching middle school is the Worst (And 5 Reasons It's the Absolute Best)
I am only going to share the absolute best. If you want the worst, read the article.
- You get to read great books
- You get street cred (popularity with and acceptance by the general public).
- It's endlessly entertaining
- No matter how bad your day is, theirs is worse
- You end ever year with "I knew them when" stories
