Riddles It walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon and three legs in the evening. What is it? I am the beginning of the end, and the end of time and space. I am essential to creation, and I surround every place. What am I?What always runs but never walks, often murmurs, never talks, has a bed but never sleeps, has a mouth but never eats?At night they come without being fetched. By day they are lost without being stolen. What are they?What English word has three consecutive double letters?What was going on in your brain?Before: How did you feel?During: How did you feel? What did you say to yourself?After: How did you feel? What were you thinking? Discuss your B, D, A with your group and your answer (Your group will be people with the same number).

10Dwecks findings: Two MindsetsFixed mindset:Intelligence and talent -fixed Innate talent creates success Effort will not make a differenceYou either get it or you dontLOOK GOOD AT ALL COSTS

Growth mindset: Intelligence can be developedBrains and talent are just the starting point Enjoy effort and process of learning You can always grow and learnLEARN AT ALL COSTS

GrowthRight or WrongWhy?

Fixed mindset brains peak when they hear right or wrong. Growth mindset brains are not as concerned about knowing right or wrong, but WHY.Fixed mindset brains peak when they hear right or wrong, growth mindset brains are not as concerned about knowing right or wrong, but WHY12Fixed Mindset Response: HelplessWhen faced with failure or challenge, people with a FIXED mindset:

Do not pay attention to learning informationGet depressed, lose self-esteemSay to themselves theyll think I am stupidUnder-represent past successes and over-represent failures (I never do things right)Explain the cause of events as something stable about them. (I am ALWAYS this way!)13Growth Mindset Response: Mastery When faced with failure or challenge, people with a GROWTH mindset:Pay attention to learning information, and do better on future tests.Focus on what they are learning, rather than focusing on how they feel.Try out new ways of doing things.Use self-motivating statements such as the harder it gets, the harder I try.When faced with tests which are impossible to pass they will factor in other reasons and not blame their intellect (i.e. this test was beyond my ability for now).

14Carol S. Dweck, Standford UniversityMindset: The New Psychology of SuccessThe growth mindset confirms the new research which reveals that intelligence can be developed, and expertise can be built by means of deliberate practice.

The Good News!15EFFORT IS ESSENTIAL!

Achievement- elementary and middle school students scores are labeled as novice, apprentice, proficient or distinguished. KY's goal is 100% proficiency for all students. At high school, achievement is based on end-of-course exams and an on-demand writing test.GAP- Schools compare test results for African-Am, Hispanic, Native Am, special ed, low income, and ELL, combined into one gap group, to the results for others students who arent in those categories.Growth- A statistical program measures how much students scores are improving from one year to the next. Students are only compared to their academic peers (those who started at the same point).College/Career Readiness- Schools and districts will provide information about how many students are C/C ready based on scoresGraduation Rate- how many students graduate within four years of high school.
