Mindset Makeover 12-3-12

Today was an absolute JOY during our Mindset Makeover Session.  Unfortunately with the fog delay, I didn't get through the entire presentation at this time.  I've shared with students how they have the POWER to make difference in their intelligence and in their life.  How the mindset affect everything.  We've taken a look at the brain research that shows you forever, can grow your intelligence (dendrites) through a multitude of pathways.  We've begun to discuss the pathways and experience them too.  Students can now explain to you the difference between a fixed mindset and a GROWTH mindset.  They've also identified to themselves, the connections they've made with both.  I'm hoping to impress upon them change...always growing!

Ask them about the Homer Simpson Brain and about Learned Helplessness (Stuck on the Escalator)!
