  • The earlier that kids begin planning their college application, the better,
  • the practice of putting quality work into digital storage “gets them thinking critically” about college.
  • Photo and video provide a more complete version of a person, and students feel they’re “more than a piece of paper.”

    Interesting perspective on how DP's can enable students to consider their growth over time as they apply to post-secondary studies.  Interesting questions for the admin & education system as a whole to consider in the big picture outlook on this tool.

      Good summary of the research and data that explains the science behind this idea -- a key component of the PD conversation with teachers when discussing how we can implement this as a school-wide tool for communication & feedback

  • Being mindful about how you praise your child can help your child foster a growth mindset and boost his or her motivation, resilience and learning
  • Citing specific behaviors such as the amount of time spent or the approach your learner is taking to figure out the task enables the child to connect their actions with results. Additionally, the praise needs to be sincere, otherwise your kid will discredit all praise – insincere and sincere.

      The parent perspective is key part of a meaningful conversation on mindset, especially in the learning environment.  Trying to shift the focus away from marks alone -- towards the effort, energy and experience of learning is significant.  It is also not easy. I've included articles like this as part of the parent communication piece on how we are implementing a growth mindset perspective.  
  • “I’m proud of you for sticking with it and taking the time to understand the concepts you’re trying to learn.”
  • “I noticed you spent a lot of time figuring out your homework – I’m happy that you’re so dedicated. Let’s work together to figure out what you don’t understand.”
  • “When you ask questions to figure out what you’re doing, I appreciate your curiosity.” or “It makes us happy that we can discuss these activities.” – show your child that you value curiosity, intellectually stimulating conversations and the exploration of ideas.

    This is an interesting perspective on the parent voice in the larger conversation about how feedback contributes to a growth mindset.
