LEARNING MINDSET
When I close my eyes and reflect on how these initial courses have impacted my life (work and personal), I feel great satisfaction! They have allowed me to look differently at the real world, providing innovative and contextualized tools to help me grow professionally and for each goal or action I undertake over the years. I cannot overlook the significant meaning it had for me to have learned about Carol Dweck's theory when the need for change in my classroom was emerging.
We are all a combination of many circumstances. We may have a growth mindset in our personality and a fixed mindset in intelligence. In some ways, we are victims of this phenomenon that limits us from being successful in what we do. Nevertheless, the most important thing is not to believe that we will have a growth mentality today but to form it throughout our lives with constant work. The world is a whole of entrepreneurs whose beginnings could have been better.
Growth Mindset Plan
The world seems huge before our eyes, and the possibility of changing it is difficult for us. I will try to leave a mark on my students through my Growth Mindset Plan. They will be able to remember me once they are good men and women, and thus, I will begin to change my little piece of the world, provoking a growth mindset in everything I do.
My Learning Manifesto
That is my PASSION!
When I enter my classroom, no matter how much worry I have, everything is forgotten before the arrival of a battalion of little giants who almost helplessly carry a backpack full of emotions: I love you, Mrs. Pérez! I missed you a lot! I love coming to your class! I do not want to go! I feel happy with you; you are like my mom. Thank you for teaching me and making me a giant! It is impossible to get them out of my mind, to talk about them without a tear, without feeling an intense emotion from the bottom of my heart. The possibility of transforming my environment, of helping to overcome fears and needs in students and families. See the joy reflected in the eyes of many parents with a THANK YOU TEACHER: “Now my child is different.” Helping each of these families fills me with happiness and well-being; it makes me feel good about myself. See My Learning Manifesto.
My contribution to my learning community has been excellent reflective debates and effective brainstorming, improved our group problem-solving skills daily, and gained confidence and security in the debate sections. Now, I can say that I have a north: what I want, where to go, and what to improve in future courses.
The power of “not yet” gives students a path into their future and makes them feel they are on a learning curve rather than a dead end.
