    "A ClassPortal is a way of using a blog to promote deep inquiry, productive habits of mind and the joy of learning.  Typically a Class Blog is used to post homework, showcase student creations, communicate with parents, etc.   These are all good things, but I advocate shifting the focus a little and reaping huge rewards."

Beyond Knowing Facts, How Do We Get to a Deeper Level of Learning? | MindShift - 0 views

  • CULTIVATING ACADEMIC MINDSETS Educators often discuss the difficulty of teaching students who don’t seem to want to learn. Without internal motivation and curiosity, school can feel like a chore to many students. But there are concrete ways to help students develop motivation and other positive academic mindsets.“The key is that we can develop in students that inner drive, that motivation for them to make the most out of those learning experiences,” said Eduardo Briceño, CEO of Mindset Works, a non-profit started by Stanford Professor Carol Dweck based on her research. To develop a positive academic mindset, these are four key beliefs students must hold: I can change my intelligence and abilities through effort I can succeed I belong in this learning community This work has value and purpose for me
  • When those beliefs are present and paired with learning strategies to help with effective self-management, any student can be successful. “We have to be deliberate about creating environments that foster those beliefs and strategies in students so they take ownership of learning,” Briceno said. “There is not one way to create deeper learning, different schools can design themselves in different ways to create deeper learning experiences and outcomes for their students.”
