PDE COURSE NUMBER 20180072
Audience: The course is designed for anyone interested in learning more about growth mindset including teachers K-12 in all subject areas and disciplines; for reading specialists; speech and language therapists; nurses; school counselors; parents; school and district administrators.

Description: A growth mindset is the belief that intelligence can be developed with effort. Students with a growth mindset understand they can get "smarter" through hard work, the use of effective strategies, and getting help from others when needed. A fixed mindset is the belief that intelligence is a fixed trait handed out at birth. Course participants will review the research about the brain and how the brain, like a muscle, changes and grows in response to challenge. Throughout the course we will explore how we, as educators, can praise students for effort and process rather than praising them for being "smart." Participants will be reading and discussing Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck and Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance by Angela Duckworth, so you will need to obtain these books for the course. Participants will take with them practical strategies to implement whether they are teachers, counselors, speech therapists, nurses, parents, or simply anyone who wants to learn more about fostering a growth mindset in themselves or others.

Description: A growth mindset is the belief that intelligence can be developed with effort.

Course participants will review the research about the brain and how the brain, like a muscle, changes and grows in response to challenge. Throughout the course we will explore how we, as educators, can praise students for effort and process rather than praising them for being "smart." Participants will be reading and discussing Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck and Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance by Angela Duckworth, so you will need to obtain these books for the course. Participants will take with them practical strategies to implement whether they are teachers, counselors, speech therapists, nurses, parents, or simply anyone who wants to learn more about fostering a growth mindset in themselves or others.

59. Non-Public Workshop - Cultivating a Growth Mindset

Program: Non-Public Events

Audience: Nonpublic Teachers from Delaware County Schools ONLY

Dates: 9/12/2019

Target Audience: Nonpublic Teachers from Delaware County Schools ONLY

Description: Cultivating a Growth Mindset in a classroom is a vital skill. Sudents with a growth mindset believe that they can learn to complete tasks, solve complex problems, or grow their intelligence, rather than assuming they "can" or "cannot" do something based on their current abilities. Students with a fixed mindset is the belief that intelligence and talents are static, leading students to believe that their potential for success is based on whether they currently possess the required abilities. These students are often tempted to give up when things get hard-they may run from challenges, see mistakes as failures, or approach success differently to their classmates with a growth mindset. According to Kazakoff & Mitchell, "Students who possess a fixed mindset are often preoccupied with the notion of high performance and will seek opportunities where they can prove their skills while avoiding situations where their weaknesses might be revealed."

Having a growth mindset is essential to lifelong success, and it is something that students can develop with practice.

For Nonpublic Teachers from Delaware County Schools ONLY. This workshop is being provided through Non-Public Schools Funding. You must be employed by a Delaware County Nonpublic School to attend this workshop.

Description: PDE COURSE NUMBER 20120306. With more and more students being diagnosed with Autism Spectrum disorders, it is important for educators to explore their perceptions and expand their knowledge base of this disability category in order to meet these students' needs. This course takes an inside look into what it is like to live with Autism. We will see and hear first hand accounts from people living with the disorder. Their inspirational and informative stories have motivated participants in the past to examine and reexamine how they work with students on the spectrum of autism. We will explore methods of motivation and classroom management in settings with learners with Autism. Given the information provided throughout the course, participants will also have the opportunity to more completely understand the many services that students with autism can benefit from and how educators can apply this learned information in their area of focus and provide effective instruction to students with mild to severe Autism.

Coherent curriculum
Authentic literacy
