Discussing "Inside The Mindsets"

Aim: How do we teach each other about mindset?  

Quick Write : Read below the (national) Common Core Standards you were expected to meet this week. Putting yourself into your growth mindset, assess your learning for the week. You of course will NOT get a low grade if you feel you have not met the standards. You will, however, get a low grade if you do not put in any effort, indicating you are in a fixed mindset. Please rate your learning this week using this rubric:

4 = Fully understand the concept/skill

3 = Understand most of the concept/skill

2 = Need help in some of the concept/skill

1 = Don’t understand the concept/skill

Then compare and contrast your own expectations for yourself to the Common Core Standards.

Common Core Standards

Reading for Information: Determine two or more central ideas of a text and analyze their development over the course of the text, including how they interact and build on one another to provide a complex analysis; provide an objective summary of the text. Reading for Information: Analyze a complex set of ideas or sequence of events and explain how specific individuals, ideas, or events interact and develop over the course of the text.      Speaking and Listening: Present information, findings, and supporting evidence, conveying a     clear and distinct perspective, such that listeners can follow the line of reasoning, alternative or opposing perspectives are addressed, and the organization, development, substance, and style are appropriate to purpose, audience, and a range of formal and informal tasks.     Writing: Write informative/explanatory texts to examine and convey complex ideas, concepts, and information clearly and accurately through the effective selection, organization, and analysis of content. Today's Agenda Today, taking a Socratic seminar format, we will each lead discussions on our assigned sections of the second chapter of mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D. Prepare for this by writing down at least one question, comment, or important idea to kick off your discussion. Don't worry if you didn't understand something. (Growth mindset!) Explain what confused you and we'll all try to figure it out together. You should have your copy of the chapter and notes with you during the discussion. Final Reflection: At the end of Chapter 2, there is a final section called "Grow Your Mindset" with five suggestions. Choose one and do it! Then, write a three-paragraph reflection about your experience. Alternatively, you can create a PowerPoint or poster. If you have some other idea, run it past me. This assignment will be graded using the CCSS rubric posted on pages.
