@SamFancera @northeagles I know we have a book picked out (title?), let me look at it and we'll set a date. Probably somewhere around 6/20? about 8 hours ago via Twitter for iPad in reply to SamFancera
#ocprincipals friends: How a chat about wrapping things up and reflecting on the year that passed. Are you interested, Sunday night at 8:00? 6:18 PM May 30th via Twitter for iPad
Thanks @SamFancera @Hubbuch_ESMS @millerg6 @dunneteach for a great chat! Enjoyed our time together. Keep promoting the growth mindset! 6:17 PM May 30th via Twitter for iPad
@Hubbuch_ESMS I hope so.... 6:15 PM May 30th via Twitter for iPad in reply to Hubbuch_ESMS
@dunneteach Again, interesting. Would we move away from leveled courses if we embraced a growth mindset? #edfocus 6:14 PM May 30th via Twitter for iPad in reply to dunneteach
Starting to wind down for this session of #edfocus. Any parting thoughts? 6:13 PM May 30th via Twitter for iPad
Q7: Does the "growth mindset" Dweck advocates resolve the Nature/Nurture debate that has existed for decades? #edfocus 6:08 PM May 30th via Twitter for iPad
@millerg6 Is it that they are afraid, or they have to focus on outcomes? #edfocus 6:06 PM May 30th via Twitter for iPad in reply to millerg6
@Hubbuch_ESMS @samfancera I was also thinking back to the Schmoker book we read and seeing similarity. Simple, profound reforms. #edfocus 6:06 PM May 30th via Twitter for iPad in reply to Hubbuch_ESMS
@millerg6 I'd see that as a huge improvement, you? #edfocus 6:02 PM May 30th via Twitter for iPad in reply to millerg6
@Hubbuch_ESMS @SamFancera As I read "Mindset," I saw the chance to break down the factory system of ed. that Godin wrote about. #edfocus 6:02 PM May 30th via Twitter for iPad in reply to Hubbuch_ESMS
@SamFancera @Hubbuch_ESMS Is the growth mindset the #edreform that we need? #edfocus 6:01 PM May 30th via Twitter for iPad in reply to SamFancera
Q5: A growth mindset would change feedback and grading. How would it impact instruction and assessment? #edfocus 5:58 PM May 30th via Twitter for iPad
@Hubbuch_ESMS A staff blog, great idea. Pass along the details if it comes to fruition. #edfocus 5:56 PM May 30th via Twitter for iPad in reply to Hubbuch_ESMS
@SamFancera We're about growth, grading must focus on the progress students are making. Our current system reward the fixed mindset #edfocus 5:55 PM May 30th via Twitter for iPad in reply to SamFancera
@Hubbuch_ESMS Well done! Are you going to write about the experience? Would love to read about how it goes. #edfocus 5:52 PM May 30th via Twitter for iPad in reply to Hubbuch_ESMS
@dunneteach Interesting. How did it impact your professional practice? #edfocus 5:51 PM May 30th via Twitter for iPad in reply to dunneteach
Q4: How would grading be impacted by moving to a growth mindset? #edfocus 5:48 PM May 30th via Twitter for iPad
@SamFancera @hubbuch_esms The term "growth mindset" needs to be part of our common vernacular. #edfocus 5:46 PM May 30th via Twitter for iPad in reply to SamFancera
@Hubbuch_ESMS How will that work logistically? #edfocus 5:45 PM May 30th via Twitter for iPad in reply to Hubbuch_ESMS
