LEARNING IS HARD! The #learningdisposition concept provides a framework for productively responding to the challenges and mistakes that are a natural part of the learning process. Interested in learning more? Don't hesitate to be in touch! https://t.co/nCtfWTFqoe

If you think you’re a good multitasker, think again.

97.5% of people performed worse in driving and memorizing information if they did both at the same time.

Those who multitasked the most were actually the worst. They focused on the potential rewards and overlooked the risks.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Effortless success is a myth. Making excellence look easy is hard work.

If you succeed without struggling, it might be a sign that you set your sights too low.

The higher you aim, the more challenges you face. Any goal worth pursuing will have obstacles along the path.

Big day for the Class of 2021 @mfsfox! A heartfelt congrats to a group that had a senior year unlike any other!

@bowmanimal Brings virtual kids in & I join the meeting on a tablet that I then "share screen" from and that is the "board" for virtual kids and those in class.

[Noah Rachlin @noahrachlin]

@bowmanimal Been in our dining hall all yr with kids in person and on line. Similar vibe. White board didn't work, especially for virtual kids. Best I've found is a projector that I broadcast the meeting on.

Honest and specific feedback is an essential part of student learning AND one way to help students cultivate a growth mindset is to make clear that you have a growth mindset about them and their talent, ability, & intelligence.

@jasbrooks03 Don’t want to get into hot water on the academic integrity front with a fellow educator, so note I was quoting from @jonfavs Don’t know how to do Chicago citations on Twitter.

Which schools will be the first to develop and offer Designing Your Life courses for middle and high school students? In HUGE demand at colleges; why not 6-12?

"Slogans alone are not enough. When the intervention did work, it was because teachers made a growth mindset something you could act on."

Thoughtful commentary on educational fads from David Yeager w/ a particular focus on growth mindset. https://t.co/KgGRgPDZ4I

[Noah Rachlin @noahrachlin]

@bowmanimal Was just in a conversation today where students talked about the challenge of asking questions and how they were hesitant to do so for fear of judgment. The answer to your Q: too many. Keep up the good work!

[Doug Lemov @Doug_Lemov]

It's obvious to most educators that young people should have a growth mindset if they want to develop & thrive. It's not always as obvious that the same thing applies to us as educators. That we have to seek growth and challenge and love getting better.
