Build Grit through Growth Mindset

On Wednesday, February 28, 2024, I shared with my school's Professional Learning Community (PLC) about Dr. Jo Boaler's wonderful growth mindset resources, called Week of Inspirational Math, from her YouCubed website.

I modified one of Dr. Boaler's lesson on Growing Shapes and shared this lesson with fellow educators at the PLC.

This is how I applied the lessons from Week of Inspirational Math to help our students in Math Support so that they can see math as fun activity and apply math to their daily lives.

There are more Growth Mindset related materials, such as posters with inspirational quotes, in this shared folder! Feel free to browse!

Additionally, I shared a worksheet that I created for helping students (middle school and high school) with their reading comprehension, called Close Reading Procedures: Text Interaction using Annotations. There are step-by-step guide to help both educators and students read and re-read the text to gain better understanding and therefore can answer Depth of Knowledge questions.
