I love the conversations that are started when we slip these #growthmindset cards into our daughter's lunch. We try to have frequent conversations about growing our brains. As a result we have seen her confidence soar. #growth #mindset #grit #parenting etsy.com/listing/1652852113/…

I can't emphasize enough the value that the Instructional Rounds structure brings to our school to make us #agile & #adaptive to the needs of our building. Once the structure exists, we can drop-in almost any instructional practice immediately. #GrowthMindset #Edchat #learning

Years ago we waited for a particular day to gather all teachers together at the same time to engage in professional development. Now, we have learned how to be #Agile, teacher driven, ongoing, timely, while supporting a #growthmindset.

Instructional Rounds isn't simply the act of observing other teachers. It isn't the same as pineapple charts, learning walks, or walk-throughs. Once we see it as a structure, the potential it has to impact learning becomes evident.

A group of BHS teachers representing 4 different content areas dove deeper into visible thinking routines. Next step is having them model these routines during #InstructionalRounds for other staff along with support of #coaching. #growth #Visiblethinking @hgse @RonRitchhart #k12

Mindset first! When we are in a #growthmindset mistakes are no longer scary. Instead, mistakes become information for learning. By creating a growth mindset culture, you remove an enormous hurdle in truly normalizing mistake-making. #EdChat #education #professionaldevelopment
