Building Independence by cultivating a growth mindset in your upper elementary classroom

Building Independence by cultivating a growth mindset in your upper elementary classroom

In this episode:

Listen in as we talk about helping students develop a growth mindset in order to foster independence during your upper elementary literacy block. 

We talk about:

The what, the why and the how of building independence by cultivating a growth mindset in your upper elementary literacy classroom.

Quotables: 

-Independence is the ability of a student to do something that we have taught them to do without relying on us and being capable of acting for oneself.

-In order to cultivate independence in our literacy classrooms we need to make helping students develop a growth mindset part of our plan.

-We set the tone for this shift in student thinking and we have to ensure that we are ready to highlight the positive examples of growth mindset when we see them.
