@kkmosher83 7A4 It makes them feel good in that moment, but the second they reach a new challenge that they don’t think they can achieve they become more scared to let you down. They won’t want to try. They think they aren’t smart when they mess up bc the praise doesn’t come. #griffisgrows
@kkmosher83 7A3 I always hype my students up when I know we are about to do something challenging. We talk about how we are scientists so we are allowed to not get the results we want on our first trial, but that doesn’t mean we can quit. When I’m excited they are excited! #griffisgrows
@kkmosher83 7A2 we have a bulletin board that has fixed phrases with opposite growth phrases. Whenever we don’t use a growth mindset we have to look at the board and “change our words”. It’s becoming a habit for them and they will go look without me having to remind them! #griffisgrows
@kkmosher83 7A1 when I hear my students correcting their fixed mindset comments to growth ones I always try to praise them on recognizing and correcting their attitudes. This makes them realize that they can make mistakes, but they can also find a way to grow from them! #griffisgrows
@kkmosher83 Q4 Through encouragement and kind support. People are more likely to accept your help and advice if you handle it with grace. #griffisgrows
