Growth Mindset

• Carol Dweck has conducted research over the last 35 years with children and young adults.

• Her research is world renowned and adopted by parents, teachers, business leaders, relationship experts and sports coaches.

Fixed vs GrowthMindset• Fixed mindset, you believe

talents and abilities are set in stone - either you have them or you don’t. That’s the path of stagnation.

• Growth mindset, you know talents can be developed and great abilities built over time. That’s the path of opportunity and success.

We would invite you to turn to your shoulder

EFFORT

CRITISISM

I want to make sure I succeed

I believe my abilities are “fixed”

Success is proving I’m smart and/or talented

Failure means I’m not talented or good enough

Failure means, I am a failure (identity)

Fixed Mindset Growth Mindset

I want to make sure I stretch & learn

I believe my abilities can improve with effort

Success is stretching to learn something new

Failure means I’m not growing or fulfilling my potential

Failure means, I failed (painful, but not defining)

I’m interested in OUTCOMES o

I avoid challenges

I thrive in safety - feeling smart and/or talented

My interest is kept by good results

I find blame or excuses for mistakes & setbacks

Fixed Mindset Growth Mindset

I’m interested in the PROCESS, regardless of outcome

I seek challenges

I thrive when challenged, stretched, or growing

My interest is kept by challenge and growth

I learn from mistakes & setbacks

YETWho has an idea what Dr. Dweck means by

YET?

YETDr. Dweck would say feel the power of YET and see the

possibilities that open in front of you when you cultivate a Growth Mindset

Deficit Model

Cornerstone I: Focus on Equity

Blames and labels students

Changing the system to eliminate inequities begins with ourselves

System is responsible for prevention of student failure

UDL & Growth Mindset Connections

Do you know someone who believes certain kids or people cannot learn?

Are you from the Growth Mindset? OR Fixed Mindset?

Which do you feel works best with Universal Design for Learning (UDL)?

If parents want to give their children a gift, the best thing they can do is teach their children to love challenges, be intrigued by mistakes, enjoy effort, and keep on learning. That way their children don’t have to be slaves to praise. They will have a lifelong way to build and repair their own confidence.

2016–2017 Live Webinars Hosted by OCALI Title: Foundational Concepts of Universal Design for Learning

Description: In this webinar participants will be provided the fundamental concepts of Universal Design for Learning. Topics to be covered include what is UDL; how can it help with my instruction and how does it increase student engagement in my classroom. Join us for this action packed session. Date: September 14, 2016 Time: 3:30pm-4:00pm EST Presenter: Jeff McCormick Register here: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/4837732789528059649 Title: One Way Teaching is the Wrong Way to Learning

Description: One of the first things a teacher must do when considering how to teach students is to acknowledge that each student does not learn in the same way. Much of the material used to educate students at grade levels beyond primary school is largely text and lecture based, which have significant limitations and often have barriers to learning. While reading is a very important learning mode, not all students learn effectively from reading. In this webinar, participants will explore some of the barriers in learning content material. Date: October 12, 2016 Time: 3:30pm-4:00pm EST Presenter: Jeff McCormick Register here: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/5682252277660118017 Title: True Grit Teaching

Description: Grit is passion and perseverance for students to achieve long-term goals. Grit is sticking with the future, day in, day out, not just for the week, not just for the month, but for years, and working really hard to make that future a reality. The best idea about building grit in kids is called growth mindset. Growth mindset is the belief that the ability to learn is not fixed, that it can change with your effort. As educators, we must try to cultivate this mindset in our students. In this brief webinar, we will explore the research and share ideas about helping acquire this disposition for academic success! Date: November 9, 2016 Time: 3:30pm-4:00pm EST Presenter: Jeff McCormick Register here: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/501114893556442881 Title: Purposeful Planning = Meaningful Instruction

Description: Until robots are teaching in our classrooms, educators must spend adequate time planning lessons for an engaging curriculum. As teachers become familiar with the instructional framework of Universal Design for Learning, they need to know how to successfully integrate the principles into meaningful lessons. This process is created during the development of lessons. Participants will see how one lesson has been UDL-ized to include all students during this exciting session! Date: December 14, 2016 Time: 3:30pm-4:00pm EST Presenter: Jeff McCormick Register here: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/8947231165620145409 Title: Co-Teaching + UDL = Success!

Description: Co-Teaching is like a marriage. There is give-and-take. Each need to know their strengths and weaknesses AND one does not rule over the other. In this webinar, patrons will exam the benefits of co-teaching and co-planning. Just as when you’re working on your own, planning is an essential part of teaching. Planning is a little more complicated, though, when you’re doing it collaboratively. How will you divide up the work? Who will take the lead when? What exactly are you going to teach and how will you teach and assess student learning? Patrons will receive a few general tips for collaborative planning when co-teaching. Date: January 4, 2017 Time: 3:30pm-4:00pm EST Presenter: Jeff McCormick Register here: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/6086390970588920833 Title: Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and Data Collection

Description: Data collection doesn’t have to be hard however it is necessary. If we don’t know how it is working, then we don’t know how to make it better. Join a state and regional provider to discuss how one district took on data collection to show the progress with UDL Lesson Planning. Date: February 8, 2017 Time: 3:30pm-4:00pm EST Presenters: Cherie Smith SSTR-6 and Ron Rogers - OCALI Register here: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/1314376365622548225 Title: The Road to Success; Using Culturally Responsive Practices with Universal Design for Learning

Description: Join us for 60 minutes of Learning in just 30 minutes for this interactive webinar on Culturally Responsive Universal Design for Learning (CRUDL). The road to success for all students. This webinar provides another key for your keychain that unlocks success. Date: March 8, 2017 Time: 3:30pm-4:00pm EST Presenters: Dr. Heidi Orvosh-Kamenski, SSTR-7 and Ron Rogers, OCALI Register here: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/2707921591921708033 Title: Why Growth Mindset is so Important to the Universal Design for Learning Framework

Description: This 30-minute webinar will focus on how educators with the Growth Mindset have an easy time implementing Universal Design for Learning. While those with fixed mindsets don’t believe in the potential for people to grow and therefore see mistakes as failures, those with growth mindsets view their mistakes as opportunities to improve. Please join us for a mind-blowing adventure where Growth Mindset trumps the Fixed Mindset. Date: April 12, 2017 Time: 3:30pm-4:00pm EST Presenter: Ron Rogers, OCALI Register here: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/3734910532241292545 Title: Incorporating UDL into Teacher Based Teams

Description: Many districts use the Ohio Improvement Process (OIP) to align district and building goals and increase learning outcomes for all students. This 30-minute webinar will discuss how the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) fit into the OIP. We will provide clear examples how Teacher Based Teams can incorporate UDL principles in the instruction and assessment of all students within Steps 3 and 4 of the 5 Step Process. Date: May 10, 2017 Time: 3:30pm-4:00pm EST Presenters: Jennifer Heim – State Support Team Region 2 & Ron Rogers, OCALI Register here: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/7033380544383324929
