Explain, in your own words, Dr. Black’s visual of a book in the middle of two Bibles. What is she illustrating with this visual?
Sorry, there were no replies found.

What are some techniques you have used, or currently use, to encourage a growth mindset in yourself?
-
I think one of the techniques I use to keep a growth mindset is reflection. I need time to reflect in my classroom and in my daily life. It happens all the time, I think back on a lesson and how it can be improved. I also think back on conversations, on my answers and even my attitudes. I try to improve and many times, I have to go back and explain or redo. It is all a constant learning process.
-
I try to learn something new each day from the Bible and from my students that I may be able to carry on throughout the day and learn grow from it. I may even use it to change how a lesson is taught in the next course or how I present materials from that point in the current course.
-
My biggest motivator in keeping a growth mindset is reminding myself that it’s okay if I don’t know something because I may have never been taught that before. I can’t expect myself to have knowledge that has never been passed down, so I must give myself grace and time to either read and study the concept myself or allow someone else to teach me. I also remind myself that it’s better to go ahead and learn something and potentially not agree with it or use it than it is to never learn it and not know if it would have been helpful or not. I’ve never learned something new and then thought “Man, I wish I didn’t have this skill”, but many times I’ve missed an opportunity to grow and later thought “Man, if I had learned this earlier I would be super fluent in it now.”

I take notes with pencil and paper at church. I am also teaching Bible courses that my church offers.

A growth mind set has been an integral part of our educational practices for many years at my school. Some of the techniques that I have used are to establish a safe environment. Where all students are valued and their opinions and ideas are heard. It is a safe place to be a risk taker. Some of the best ways to learn and form concrete connections is through trial and error. Students are encouraged to explore other avenues to arrive at the same destination. I ask lots of open ended questions and give ample wait time. I do not always give the information as a factual answer, but pose a question for the students to problem solve. The cliché “practice makes perfect” is substituted with “practice makes better”. You are doing better than you did before, you know a little more than you did last week, you may not know how to do that “yet” but you can learn. The power of YET is used frequently and students are taught to have a growth mind set. There is no end to learning, it is continual and vast.
