How do we stop academically trapping our students...QUIT using the word 'smart'! Growth Mindset, Resilience, Perseverance, Grit: These are all words we keep hearing, but how do we, as educators, put into practice strategies that will help cultivate a Growth Mindset for our students, which in turn, fosters a development of Grit, Resilience, & Perseverance? In this session, you will learn practical classroom tools you can use with your students to enhance how you teach in a way that is equitable for all students; no matter their grade level or ability.
