A positive mindset is so essential to success. This course has given me ideas to help provide a supportive, and positive learning environment for my students. I also see where I can practice these ideas in my personal life. Awesome material.
I intend to use these practices because I know it will be helpful and transformative for me and my students.
Its best to practice reflective writing, express gratitude or appreciation, and help when and where you can even if help is not yet asked for.
I have my students say in class something they are grateful and have also done this with my kids before bedtime.
This material is conveniently packaged for easy consumption. I needed this right now! I wrote down all the interventions and plan to try one each week over the next six weeks. I am personally in a transition time both personally and professionally. I am going to do more research on the the Best Possible Self...and use this intervention first. I have really enjoyed learning about this material...my organization could use more people with a positive mindset!
I enjoyed learning about negative bias and mindset. It gave me perspective about where students might be emotionally, and how it might negatively affect their learning. My job is to cultivate and maintain a growth mindset to facilitate learning while also having a postitive impact on their mental and physical well-being.
It's caused me to be better balanced at what I'm good at and what im not. I am better aware of what I can offer to kids.
I loved taking the VIA survey and finding my strengths. I also plan to try the suggestions about positive interventions, especially imagining the positive future when all goes well.
It is important to have a balanced mindset and address any negative feelings you have.
