Learning Goal: I will be able to discuss
and explain the classroom procedures and expectations
Today, I spent a few minutes explaining emergency procedures (Fire and Tornado). Next, students tried to solve a lateral thinking problem. The goal in trying to solve the puzzle was to see which students have a fixed mindset or a growth mindset. We followed the puzzle by discussing our mindsets and tomorrow I will provide students with ways to change their mindset.
Reminders:
- Binders by Friday
- Expectation quiz tomorrow

People with a fixed mindset believe that their traits are just givens. They have a certain amount of brains and talent and nothing can change that. If they have a lot, they’re all set, but if they don’t... So people in this mindset worry about their traits and how adequate they are. They have something to prove to themselves and others.
People with a growth mindset, on the other hand, see their qualities as things that can be developed through their dedication and effort. Sure they’re happy if they’re brainy or talented, but that’s just the starting point. They understand that no one has ever accomplished great things—not Mozart, Darwin, or Michael Jordan—without years of passionate practice and learning.
