Relevant useful

very relevant and new ideas. Has me thinking.

I have a fixed mindset on this subject. I’m from the old school of hard knocks where I have had to scrap for everything I’ve achieved with a truckload of resilience. Where I know what to let go of and when to fight tooth and nail to get what I’m struggling for. Where feedback from others is valued when it needs to be and where it’s constantly evaluated and remodelled to meet the high expectations.

Did Dan Haesler just crawl out from under a rock and he missed how people coped with life and got on with things and kept learning until their last breath and where they saw others destroy their lives with a lack of effort.

Most of what he said was obvious. What teacher says to their students (not kids...baa baa) that they are smart and don’t comment on their effort and application. People, we, only see what we want to see. We have to work bloody hard to be successful and get to where we want to go and then when we do it all starts again! Where the younger generation is showered with ‘everyone wins a prize’. Where teachers give feedback on skills needed or acquired. Peer pressure does matter and what I say and when I say it matters. Where people who know the struggle, acknowledge the sacrifice that other shave made for them and they have made for other and themselves. Where being ‘mindful’ is where its at. Where feedback and the nature of it is vital for improvement.

Our school can improve! Un fortunately, we foster extrinsic motivation by giving rippin rewards rather than fostering intrinsic motivation by just giving feedback about effort, application and skills. These things are not and have been debated for aeons.

So lets go forward on this ‘growth mindset’ and recognise how we can all get better, especially the messages we are giving our ‘STUDENTS’.

Our school is looking at focusing on Growth Mindset next year so the content was very relevant.

It was engaging and relevant.

This course is so relevant to changing the ways kids see themselves.

Reflective practice as a leader to assist with direction of pedagogical framework for teachers and students.

Presented well and relevant to educators.

Very relevant and thought provoking – in a good way

Very relevant to education as a teacher and to encourage in my students. Quality was outstanding due to specific examples.

very relevant Thanks for the amazing PD, it covered a lot of things that are relevant to what is needed in teaching today. I attended Dan Haesler’s presentation a few years ago and completed this course online recently. Both times I was inspired to improve my teaching practice. I found the presentation funny, engaging and motivational.
Dan you are an excellent presenter! I’ll be back again.
