- inspire students to investigate, innovate and imagine so they are equipped to be active citizens who are making the world a better place
How? The simple solution is to promote Flexible Mindsets in your classroom.
SO WHAT IS A FLEXIBLE MINDSET?
IN A NUTSHELL, IT IS…
self-awareness + executive function strategies + perseverance = self-directed learning
Join us for 8 steps to building flexible mindsets an 8-week online course and group experience where you’ll develop a flexible mindset and learn how to inspire your students to want one too.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
1. Cultivate a Flexible Mindset
Learn what it means to have a Flexible Mindset and how teachers and students together can utilize self-awareness, executive function strategies and perseverance to become self-directed learners.
2. Create a welcoming and affirming classroom culture where everyone feels valued, accepted and like they belong.
Make space for teachers and students to feel seen and heard and build trust so everyone feels comfortable to ask questions, make mistakes and take risks for learning
3. Engage in Productive Puzzling.
Rethink how we learn and use questions, curiosity and provocations to deepen student engagement.
4. Weave independent/active learning strategies into your instruction.
Build a toolbox of strategies to support students to learn on their own and become increasingly self-directed.
5. Teach students how to think rather than what to think so they become independent thinkers.
Guide students to use a specific set of questions to think critically when they encounter an issue, new idea or situation so they are prepared to navigate the opportunities and challenges of the future.
6. Transfer academic learning to meaningful real-world problems.
Utilize a trial and error approach that emphasizes learning from mistakes to give students a direct experience with finding constructive and innovative solutions to relevant and complex problems.
7. Unlock creativity by infusing imagination, innovation and inventiveness into lessons.
Open up a prescriptive curriculum by exploring the possibilities for delivering content in a way that inspires and empowers both teachers and learners to dream and create solutions for a better world.
8. Be a Changemaker.
Take steps to create classrooms where every learner thrives and challenges social injustices with resilience and adaptability.
