Making a difference in the lives of the students by maximizing their potential. By creating a culture in which students can take risks to take ownership of their learning. Creating clearer targets on why they are learning. Students should not be punished when they learn incorrectly. Educators should be transparent in their assessment practices. Students should understand self-assessment & feedback, as well as how grades are assigned at the end of the process. Students should explain their why and reflect on the process.
Growing a growth mindset across a culture of understanding rather than competing to learn. The book, The Magic of Growth Mindset will be released soon. It is important for teachers to model growth mindsets as well, and for leaders to be aware of how they respond, it is more about the effort than how well they do. Get everyone to take some risks. A safe space for making mistakes, lots of modelling by leaders to teachers, and for the students to take it home.
