Climate C3.4: Promotes a growth mindset in students

Use incorrect answers as a jumping board to highlight common mistakes: “Thank you for that answer. It gives me an opportunity to talk about a common mistake that I see students make....”

Use “yet” - as in, “you have not yet completely understood this concept/formula, so let us go over it and figure it out together.”
Growth mindset activity (Associated lesson plan and assignment)
- Reinforce the ideas from the growth mindset activity/assignment using the Growth Mindset Feedback Tool, reminding students about the pledge they made in the assignment, etc.
Corrections assignments reward effort and growth rather than penalizing mistakes. Students can submit work and solutions to things they got incorrect on an exam for a return of some or all of their lost points.
Metacognitive “exam wrapper” to support students’ reflection on their performance
End of semester reflection
