How can we stop setting our science students up to crave validation and avoid challenge?
Join us for this free 1-hour discussion of Carol Dweck’s research on Mindset and its implications for classrooms implementing the next generation science standards in K-12.
We’ll discuss the authentic focus of these performance standards which challenge students (and some teachers) who just want to get “the right answer.” Discover the ways we can use a new definition of rigor to enhance the reward of hands-on science and engineering, focusing and investing students in their own learning.
Key Take-Aways:
- The difference between a growth and a fixed mindset
- How to use the power of effort and challenge to engage students in science and engineering practices
- How higher order teaching leads to the development of higher order thinking skills
