Mindset and Learning Online (3-hour online, self-paced training)

DESCRIPTION: Educational Growth Mindsets are beliefs about learning and school. Teachers and students who hold growth learning mindsets are more motivated to challenge themselves with new concepts and persist in setbacks. These mindsets help students achieve higher levels of educational outcomes. Helping students develop a learning mindset will support growth in intelligence, ability, and performance. This online-self-paced 3-hour training will revolve around Carol Dweck’s Mindset and reveal some ideas for classroom activities that maintain growth mindsets in learning and give educators some ideas to grow their own mindset.

Accountable Talk Training (Online & Self-Paced)
Teacher talk should be 20% of class time. Student talk should be 80% of class time. These are not exact percentages for every class, but the brain needs to talk about learning. Students are social beings and need to discuss with peers learning that has taken place inside the classroom. Accountable Talk will support this effort. Accountable Discussions empower students to draw up arguments based on evidence. Students learn how to respect the views of their peers while strengthening their communication skills. They get practice in being good conversationalists, participating in conversations in a polite manner. This training highlights the “how to” of getting students discussing in a manner that promotes learning. NOTE: Once registered, the online training link and directions will be sent to you. Questions?
