Applying Learning to Personal Practice

1. Growth Mindset and Habits of MindGavilan College August 14th-16thMiguel Powers, Fullerton CollegeScott Sandler, Gavilan College

2. Applying Learning to Personal Practice • Will work to give more beneficial feedback to students to support growth mindset • Will work on GM activities like drawing picture of brain, spoon and cotton ball activity, and share ESL learning strategies to show how the brain works. • Will reconsider grading/assessment structure/approaches • Will use basic illustrations and vocabulary to convey GM to limited English speakers • Will add “how the brain works” to first class • Will create equity activities so students won’t feel so bad because they often compare themselves to others.

3. Applying Learning to Personal Practice • Will consider ways to build community/relationships in both classes (learning communities) • Will put HoM on strips, present, and discuss. • Will work on non-verbal (or bilingual) presentations of GM/HoM • Will think about motivation strategies that works in my classroom. • Will use backwards design/nesting with others and to help me with me with personal planning and assessment.  Will consider role of Habits in assessment work.

4. Questions * How to incorporate an assessment rubric that encourages a GM. * Are rubrics embraced in adult school/college? • More strategies to help ESL students ask more questions. * How can one learn “thinking flexibly”—along the lines of “how do you know what you don’t know”? * Some time for collaboration?  More time for collaboration. No questions at this point, but might think of some down the road.
