The image of a successful person can vary from one individual to the next; however, upon closer inspection those who succeed share a common quality: their mindset. Teachers will examine various ways to positively alter their own lives as a result of mindset, but equally important, how students can benefit from a growth mindset culture in the classroom. It is apparent that we want our students to develop and maintain a growth mindset; however, it is also necessary that we foster an awareness within them that allows them to respectfully question social injustices and determine ways to promote change. This course provides the foundation for understanding mindset, the difference between a fixed and growth mindset, the importance of the brain and how it works, specific ways to foster a growth mindset environment, the role of critical thinking, differentiation and critical consciousness and cultural responsiveness, ways to change mindsets, and strategies that promote a growth mindset. An educator can use this information to continue to develop challenging instruction that is also designed for students to recognize how potential and effort impact the outcome in any life situation. With the expectation for educators to consistently challenge students, many students are encountering new learning difficulties and experiencing feelings of frustration and failure.

Standards four, five, and six in Vocabulary Acquisition and Use in the Next Generation Learning Standards focus on academic vocabulary and the needs for students to consistently build upon their vocabulary to access the complex texts that they will be charged with mastering in their various courses. This course will explore information on language acquisition and how it can help educators design more effective vocabulary instruction, the importance of academic vocabulary and its role in all content area classrooms, the development of numerous vocabulary activities that will be designed to support students as they acquire and use both general and content specific language, and the opportunity to develop vocabulary instruction that can be implemented and evaluated during our course or for use in the future. Research shows that marginally underserved populations of students, particularly students of color, multilingual students, and students with disabilities, often have gaps in their personal vocabularies com¬pared to those of their peers. This course provides support so that educators can appropriately design and implement vocabulary instruction that will result in an instructional approach that embraces the diversity present among students themselves while still adhering to NYS Standards and curriculum.

The role of an educator has increasingly become more and more demanding. In addition to being content specialists, or service providers, educators find that their roles encompass so much more than delivering instruction and/or services.

The image of a successful person can vary from one individual to the next; however, upon closer inspection those who succeed share a common quality: their mindset. Teachers will examine various ways to positively alter their own lives as a result of mindset, but equally important, how students can benefit from a growth mindset culture in the classroom.

This course will encourage teachers to use mindfulness techniques to enhance their curriculum. Using mindfulness in the classroom can help meet the challenges of the twenty-first century. Becoming mindful will deepen knowledge and foster an environment in which the school community will become self-aware. More students than we know come to our classrooms with social and emotional deficits, trauma and behaviors that can get in the way of learning. Mindfulness practices enhances learning, helps students to better understand themselves, recognize and identify their emotions, improves their social behavior, promotes healthy development and helps them function more effectively as individuals. If we teach children how to become aware of their feelings, minds and bodies, students will be more apt to show empathy to others, make responsible decisions and develop positive relationships. Through mindfulness, we will lay the foundation for a better way to learn in a culturally responsive and loving context.
