@RutgersAltRoute If students have a growth mindset they’re always looking to learn and do not get discouraged when they get something wrong. This mindset helps them become more efficient problem solvers demonstrates their resilience.

Teachers have the power to influence the mindset of students. As you answer #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset Question 1, consider your own experience, readings, and what Carol Dweck refers to as the power of “yet” (youtu.be/hiiEeMN7vbQ?si…)

@RutgersAltRoute “Great job of explaining why that is the case now just make sure you restate the question in your first sentence”. “Great points about the topic now just go a bit more into detail about how they relate to the story”.

Feedback is a compass for improvement and not all feedback is created equally. For Q4 share your content area and consider your best practices and those you would like to try #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset

@RutgersAltRoute I will applaud and encourage effort even if it isn’t exactly correct, I will give constructive feedback and create a overall culture of growth mindset in our classroom.

Framing, or how teachers introduce new concepts and tasks to students, is the focus of Q3. Framing can steer students to a fixed or growth mindset. It helps students feel free to be a work in progress as they learn. #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset

@RutgersAltRoute Teachers can promote a growth mindset in the classroom by letting students know it is ok to struggle with something (everyone does), encourage challenges when having class discussions/debates, and set goals for your class.

For Q2, consider the expectations you communicate to students (verbal and nonverbal) through your classroom climate, course material & response opportunities #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset Tip: Be specific to your content & connect with others using a # like #ArtsEd #litchat #scichat

No more debates, Drake is the GOAT🙏🏽

Gotta love playing in March🏀🙌🏾

You can't get so hung up on where you'd rather be and forget to make the most of where you are.

Everyone go follow my bro @LoftenHarris !!!!!
