Coincidence?
Early this morning I was highlighting and making notes in the reading for our Intermediate Math course. I came across a passage that talked about mindset and immediately wrote two notes: 1) re-read information on Growth Mindset and look at videos from Dweck; 2) Think about how this can help your focus group student who appears to be firmly entrenched in a fixed mindset. This student is so capable and needs encouragement and confidence building to recognize it for themselves. Just now I was reviewing the UDL Guidelines Examples and Resources and what do I immediately find, links to both the book Mindset by Carol S. Dweck and a video of an interview. These were exactly the tools I needed. Was this planned? Or is this just the happy "coincidence" of carefully coordinated and planned instruction? I hope that my students will feel those same connections across disciplines and experience what feels like real learning.
