Performance goals induce people to favor tasks that make them look good over tasks that help them learn. A shift toward learning will make managers more open to exploring opportunities to acquire knowledge from others. (2/2)

According C Dweck, ppl are driven by either performance or learning goals. With performance goals, people are motivated to show they have a valued attribute, like intelligence or leadership. When learning goals dominate, they are motivated to develop the attribute. (post 1/2)

I love all things MTSS, especially creating the system in which kids can THRIVE! Building the successful MTSS system @ZCSBoone_Meadow with teacher leaders and support staff has been one of the highlights in my educational career so far!

This is a PSA for all those "doing MTSS" or that are "MTSSing"

I just finished listening to Sold a Story, and I have many thoughts!

Reading educators, please weigh in with your perspective and opinion ….

@WitchDrTim I agree with you but my current emotional storm is my son’s stage 5 kidney failure. I’m trying to face this storm with him but am paralyzed with fear. I don’t know where to begin. Can we come to Canada to see you in person, Tim? Please help us!

Teacher Appreciation Week!

I’m thankful to have had, and work alongside, some of the best!

How are you showing gratitude for the difference-makers in your life?

[Lauren Kersey @LFKerz]

As a mother, this mindset can be tough. Sometimes it’s just easier to “take care of it”, right?

But as an educator, I know that accountability is fostered by learning from mistakes. Letting them “fail safely” leads to more growth and maturity in the long run.

[Lauren Kersey @LFKerz]

It’s true!

Tag a boss you remember and admired for one of these traits!

Start from what the child DOES know and move along the expected continuum of learning progression to develop new skill application. Positive acknowledgment of what a child CAN DO is key!
