EDU 623 - Growth Mindset in the Classroom (3)

“Neurons are brain cells; synapses are the connections between neurons.” Do you know that when a new learning takes place a new synapses is formed? Similar to how a muscle grows in strength, neural passageways in your brain grow in size and density the more you use it! How do we foster a mindset in students that helps them build neural networks? How do we foster a mindset in our teaching that encourages growth versus fixed mindset? In this class, you will learn to identify growth versus fixed mindset. We will learn about building relationships with students that challenge them to grow in their skills and abilities. We will learn to look beyond intelligence and natural ability and carry a message that values process, strategy, effort, focus and persistence. We’re not there YET!
