3-2-1 TUESDAYS WITH MS NIV

Issue #99, 31st May 2022

You are not promoted to the next class. You have a learning gap. You are not up to class standards.

OR

You need to work more on this area. You are not completely competent as yet. You need to try this in a different way.

What do you think should be our approach with the students coming back to school after a pandemic in any grade? what will help them succeed? what could be our communication to help them to cope and thrive? Here are a few tips for helping them develop a mindset so as to help themselves with a little nudge from us as educators and parents.

One Video of the Week

Should you tell your kids they are smart or talented? Professor Carol Dweck answers this question as she talks about her groundbreaking work on developing mindsets. She emphasizes the power of “yet” in helping students succeed in and out of the classroom.

Carol Dweck is the Lewis and Virginia Eaton Professor of Psychology and, by courtesy, at the Graduate School of Education. A leading expert in the field of motivation, her research has demonstrated the role of mindsets in students’ achievement and has shown how praise for intelligence can undermine motivation and learning. She has lectured to education, business, and sports groups all over the world, and has been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences.

Her bestselling book Mindset has been widely acclaimed and translated into over 20 languages.
