Growth Mindset: Week 13

I found this meme online and it made me laugh. I love cats. They are funny and brave. Their bravery can be kind of inspirational. In the image below there is a cat poking out of wall. Someone took advantage of this to make an inspirational meme -- "break t. through the barriers." What this means to me is to be yourself. Be an individual.

Growth Mindset




    I have never heard of Carol Dweck and/or the growth mindset before until now so I did not know what to really expect. While watching the videos and reading the articles, I noticed that Carol Dweck brought up some interesting topics. For instance, she brought up "wise rewarding." She discussed how many children today will not do much unless they are prompted by a reward. I thought this was interesting because I never really thought about rewarding too much or too little.
    Another topic that Carol Dweck brought up that I thought was interesting was "How should we learn?" She mentioned how learning these days are a chore when really they should be more natural and fun. I agree with this. I think if learning was more perceived not as disciplined and a chore, students would be more ambitious about learning and even learn better.
    I included this meme below because I really agree with. I have made a lot of mistakes in my life and even though they were errors they did not go out without purpose. They showed to newer opportunities that I did not see before.
