Glitter & Pearls Angela Duckworth 1 Pot, 1 Pan, 5 Ingredients: 5 Minimalist Meals Several years ago, I decided to attempt my first marathon. Certainly not the most original idea, as it seems these days running a marathon is on the bucket list for just about every man. Nevertheless, after following a brutal 16-week training schedule, I was confident in my ability to survive the 26.2 mile challenge. That was of course, until I arrived at the starting line. Surveying the crowd, I felt quite out of place in my throwback Saucony shoes, mesh shorts from my high school football glory days, and a T-shirt I purchased on a college spring break trip to the Bahamas. As it was, the rest of my running cohorts were outfitted in the latest and greatest in sports technology. However, after the starting gun fired and as the miles slipped away, I found myself nearing the front of the pack, passing by all those who looked like they just stepped out of an issue of Runner’s World magazine. In truth, the marathon runners are just a metaphor for what we all encounter in our own lives.

Le 21ème Arrondissement 32 Research-Based Instructional Strategies - 32 Research-Based Instructional Strategies by TeachThought Staff You want to teach with what’s been proven to work. That makes sense. In the ‘data era’ of education that’s mean research-based instructional strategies to drive data-based teaching, and while there’s a lot to consider here we’d love to explore more deeply, for now we’re just going to take a look at the instructional strategies themselves. A post is not the best way to share this kind of information, honestly. But upside to sharing this information as a post is that it can act a starting point to research the above, which is why we’ve tried to include links, related content, and suggested reading for many of the strategies, and are trying to add citations for all of them that reference the original study that demonstrated that strategy’s effectiveness. How should you use a list like this? “In lieu of any problems, this much data has to be useful. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22.
Daily Fiction Fiction 247:Chaque année… chaque année ça arrive. Après le 12 vient le 13 et après le 13, immanquablement, le 14 : 14 septembre, date unique. Unique en son genre, vraiment. D’abord, et pour commencer tranquillement, c’est l’anniversaire de Zoe qui, elle, est ma petite amie, ou tout comme, depuis un peu plus de deux ans. Par un hasard du calendrier, Zoe et moi nous sommes rencontré un 14, un jeudi si je me souviens bien, mais c’était en mars. Quoi qu’il en soit, et puisque nous en sommes encore à fêter les « et demi », ce 14 septembre est donc l’anniversaire de nos deux et demi et il va falloir que je lui trouve un cadeau. Mais quand donc est-elle morte cette pauvre petite me demanderez-vous ? Alors voilà, nous sommes le 14 septembre et je m’apprête à supporter une nouvelle fois le poids écrasant de cette journée unique entre toutes en me rappelant qu’en 1983, ce jour-là, Amy Winehouse venait au monde.
Top Ten Tips for developing a Growth Mindset in your Classroom Be Critical. Students should expect and welcome criticism. They must also be given the opportunity to act on any criticism or critique. This will allow students to realise that through improving their work and responding to feedback, they can be better than they were. For this to happen, the culture of improvement needs to feel completely normal. Provide elements of choice. Imagine if every classroom, every teacher instilled this culture within your school. Author: Pete Jones I am primarily an Art teacher, but over the past 5 years have been co-developing an experienced-based learning programme in the school I work in called Pebble, (short for Project Based Learning).
copyranter Four questions that encourage growth mindset among students | Teacher Network Teachers have long battled with how to get their students to become more resilient and improve their mindset. One popular theory, pioneered by Carol Dweck, professor of psychology at Stanford University, is the idea of growth mindset. Dweck explains that some students believe ability is malleable and can be improved (a growth mindset), while others think it is set in stone, probably decided at birth (a fixed mindset). Evidence suggests that those with a growth mindset seek out feedback on how to get better, persist with work for longer and cope better with change – all attitudes teachers want to develop in their young charges. How can teachers encourage a growth mindset? When working with young people, choosing which behaviours to praise can have a profound impact. As well as thinking of the feedback you offer your class, there are certain questions you can ask to get them thinking about their own mindset: Is the effort today worth the reward tomorrow? This can be a simple weekend project.
