@RonBrosowske You've been quoted in my #Storify story "Mathematical Mindsets Twitter Discussion " https://t.co/x4rEQGHzpb

[Ron Brosowske @RonBrosowske]

@alexelise000 @BellaCupps As English teachers, we have to get our Ss reflecting. #ci149

[Ron Brosowske @RonBrosowske]

A9: Third time I've talked about this, but it's because I believe it works and I have to do them for lots of my classes. REFLECTIONS. Thinking about your growth and the possibilities of where you could be headed. #ci149

[Ron Brosowske @RonBrosowske]

@MkmoTeacher @alexelise000 I agree! #ci149

[Ron Brosowske @RonBrosowske]

A8: That it's mainly about math. I want to discover more about this and ways to really incorporate it into all aspects of ELA classes. #ci149

[Ron Brosowske @RonBrosowske]

@alexelise000 I thought that part was so intriguing, and it really sticks with me when thinking about why growth mindsets. #ci149

[Ron Brosowske @RonBrosowske]

A7: How growth mindset brains are much more active when making mistakes, which turns mistakes into learning experiences. #ci149

[Ron Brosowske @RonBrosowske]

@MkmoTeacher @BellaCupps Same. And if we know our Ss well, we should know they are learning, no matter how they decide to display so. #ci149

[Ron Brosowske @RonBrosowske]

@MkmoTeacher @BellaCupps We should grade the learning and growth though, right? Regardless of how it is illustrated? #ci149

[Ron Brosowske @RonBrosowske]

@abtfly2 I like this idea! #ci149

[Ron Brosowske @RonBrosowske]

@BellaCupps I want to do this. Think it would be cool to see the Ss creativity. #ci149

[Ron Brosowske @RonBrosowske]

A6: Let them decide how they could best show you what they learned (video, skit, writing, speech, etc.) and then ask them to follow through and prove it. #ci149

[Ron Brosowske @RonBrosowske]

A5: English class 1st day: ask students what words are and what they use them for. #ci149

[Ron Brosowske @RonBrosowske]

A4: They account for and promote all kinds of answers and perspectives. #ci149

[Ron Brosowske @RonBrosowske]

@BellaCupps Wow! Perfect example of bad HW assignment. #ci149

[Ron Brosowske @RonBrosowske]

@lifeasmsdelgado Yes, I always hated when I spent time on HW then teachers went and marked every mistake wrong without explaining it, and I felt like I had wasted my time. #ci149

[Ron Brosowske @RonBrosowske]

A3: It has to be the right kind of HW. Again, reflecting can be a great way to understand our mistakes and growth, like the book says. But bad HW can do more to damage to a mindset than it will ever help it. #ci149

[Ron Brosowske @RonBrosowske]

@BellaCupps hahaha Same! #ci149

[Ron Brosowske @RonBrosowske]

@MkmoTeacher @alexelise000 I think positive classroom community is a great way to spread growth mindset. #ci149

[Ron Brosowske @RonBrosowske]

A2: Self-Reflection. Reflections can get students to see their growth and create optimism for future growth. #ci149
