Fixed Mindsets in the Mathematics Classroom and What Teachers Can Do About It
Saturday November 2, 2024 10:15am - 11:00am CDT
Room 256
We will explore the mindsets that hold children back. Students can go through their early grades with little effort. Once some students hit a challenge in later years, they may feel they are not smart or gifted. How can we get them to change that fixed mindset to a growth mindset? How can we get them to step up to the challenge?
