Episode 96: Beyond Growth Mindset: Cultivating Success in Language Classes with Becca Silver
Join us for a powerful conversation with Becca Silver, an instructional coach and the CEO and founder of The Whole Educator. In this episode, we dive into the powerful world of mindsets in education—exploring what growth mindset truly is and how it impacts our brains, backed by fascinating research from Michigan State University.
Becca shares why having a growth mindset alone isn't enough and introduces us to the concept of academic mindsets, which include the crucial elements of belonging, self-efficacy, and a sense of purpose. Together, we discuss practical strategies for language teachers to create a supportive and engaging classroom environment that helps both students and educators thrive.
We'll also revisit some key takeaways from our previous chat in episode 36 about the "Summer Bandaid Effect."
Whether you're a teacher looking to empower your students or an educator seeking to grow in your profession, this episode is packed with valuable insights and practical ideas.
