“That willingness to consider new information goes hand in hand with a willingness to admit your old way of thinking was flawed. In other words, to be super smart you have to change your mind a lot.” ⁦Inc.⁩ #edchat #growthmindset #FutureDriven #teach inc.com/jessica-stillm…

My daughter at the dinner table tonight: "Raise your hand if you have a growth mindset!" Followed by her brain teacher taught her that. Shout out to advanced academics and the PTD teachers that serve as "brain teachers" for all of us.

Grateful for the opportunity to join World Language teachers today. Blessed to hear an inspirational message from DeWayne Cash. "All teachers are responsible for all students." "How can I get students excited to take their next language class...even if it isn't with me?"
