@RutgersAltRoute A5: Some difficulties I’ve faced is having students believe they can’t do something and not putting in the effort because they think they’ll perform poorly anyway. Something I can change is encouraging g them more and further breaking down lessons. #Growthmindset
@RutgersAltRoute A4: I try to acknowledge growth in specific areas whenever possible in my feedback and make sure it is constructive and specific. I can work on acknowledge the difficulty of the assignment instead of being frustrated when they shut down. #Growthmindset
@RutgersAltRoute A2: Teachers can promote a growth mindset by encouraging
and praising students, making small achievable goals, and providing specific constructive feedback. #Growthmindset
