Unlocking Potential: Fostering a Growth Mindset in Your Students
Description
Participants will reflect on Carol Dweck's research on mindsets and discuss research-based practices that foster a growth mindset in students. Participants will use a social justice and equity lens to examine the impact of race, class, gender, culture, language, and disability on students' self-theories of intelligence, motivation, and achievement. By the end of this workshop, participants will evaluate effective classroom practices that promote both equity and social justice as well as the development of a growth mindset in their students. Participants will examine their self-theories of intelligence, motivation, and achievement according to their personal and social identities and discuss instructional strategies that nurture intrinsically motivated learners in the classroom. In addition, they will create action plans for promoting a growth mindset in their students.
