Teachers have the power to influence the mindset of students. For Question 1, consider research, readings, & your own experience. I.e mindset alerts, like believing that achievement is natural ability & what Carol Dweck refers to as the power of “yet” #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset

[AlternateRoute @RutgersAltRoute]

Teachers communicate expectations through climate (verbal, nonverbal), input (how much material is taught), response opportunity (chance and volume to respond), & feedback (positive praise, differentiated feedback). Consider this as you answer Question 2 #TeacherEd #Growthmindset

[AlternateRoute @RutgersAltRoute]

Framing, or how teachers introduce new concepts & tasks to students, is the focus for Question 3. It can steer students to a fixed or growth mindset #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset

Feedback is a compass for improvement and not all feedback is created. Consider your best practices and those you would like to try for Question 4 #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset

Assessments are an opportunity to develop student learning and development. For Question 5, we want to hear your insights on mindset-conscious assessment #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset

[Rhonda Nonnemacher @nonnemac1]

@RutgersAltRoute A5: one challenge is allowing and promoting reassessment when students appear to have not tried hard or given their all during the first administration

[Jennifer Adase @adasejen]

@RutgersAltRoute A5: diversifying the style or type of assessment to best match up with the style of the learner. Especially in Special Education. It is critical that we assess knowledge in a way that reflects the students ability to express that knowledge. #TeacherEd

[Kelly @MsKellyBean]

@Bria40208778 @RutgersAltRoute I agree. And we cannot underestimate the importance of teaching students HOW to take tests and get the most out of assessments. #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset

[Akhil Balraj @balraj_akh90876]

@RutgersAltRoute A5: I have students who are concerned about their grade at the expense of their understanding. Making assessments more heavily weighted for effort is a great way to have students get more comfortable diving into the material. #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset

[Gabriel Yoder Shenk @yodershenk]

@RutgersAltRoute A5 “Formative” assessments are basically the enforcers of a growth mindset because they intend to give feedback on what growth the students have made, and what weaknesses still need to be addressed. Any assessment with an opportunity for reflection/improvement is good

[Julie Youngman @MsYoungmanHPE]

@RutgersAltRoute A5: It is challenging when working w students w fixed mindsets bc they are already convinced & set in their own ways. The way I have revised my assessments & practices to accommodate these students is by creating more project based learning opportunities #TeacherEd #Growthmindset

[Kelly @MsKellyBean]

@RutgersAltRoute A5: My main focus for assessments is assuring each student has the best opportunity to show their understanding of material. Hence they should be varied & provide some type of choice for students. Challenging but important. #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset

[Kelly @MsKellyBean]

@robbymac990 @RutgersAltRoute I completely agree that feedback should guide students towards improvement rather than focus on what they got wrong or the overall grade. #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset

[Autumn Terhune @terhune_autumn]

@RutgersAltRoute A4: Students must know they are in control of their own learning! Persistence and improvement can strengthen a growth mindset. In Grade 1, my students feel valued and motivated through praise for their efforts and determination! #TeacherEd #Growthmindset

[Katherine DeMarco @MrsDeMarcoSWS2]

@RutgersAltRoute #TeacherEd #Growthmindset A4: When providing feedback to students, be sure to praise effort and growth rather than intelligence and ability to improve the mindset of your students. “You must feel so proud of your hard work….”

[TJB @ty179b]

@RutgersAltRoute #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset A4: I ask students all the time to tell/show me how they are feeling before, during, and after a lesson (e.g., thumbs up/side/down). This gives me immediate feedback as to what I should do next. Furthermore, I ask a lot of high order questions to promote
