Mistakes are the catalysts to many of our learning experiences. Learners with a growth mindset are capable of making mistakes and embracing their mistakes by "shaking it off" and creating alternative solutions to get to their goal. By design, mistakes are an iteration of our progress and with deliberative action planning and risk analysis, progress and growth can happen. How does a learner develop a growth mindset? In this workshop, we will be reframing the growth mindset using Arthur L. Costa’s 16 Habits of Minds as learning outcomes and growth indicators to look at 1.) how teachers and school leaders can develop a learning culture that allows students to make mistakes and learn from them and 2.) how teachers and school leaders can infuse the growth mindset attitude into their instructional design. Essential Question: How can teachers and school leaders instill an attitude that allows our young learner to be resilient so that they can reflect and learn from their past failures?
