Whenever we need to learn, the 5 Learning Requirements will have to be in place.
Our behaviour will reflect our learning of the skills we need to succeed
Poor development of these 8 skills will probably result in observing one or more of the behaviours shown in this poster
This videoclip can help how to explain bad behaviour can occur and how effective use of praise can make a big difference.
Praise can help students make the most of the gifts they have. But if praise is not handled properly, it can become a negative force, a kind of drug that, rather than strengthening students, makes them passive and dependent on the opinion of others .
What teachers—and parents— need is a framework that enables them to use praise wisely and well.
The term ‘Mindsets’, explained briefly as:
Fixed Mindset - people believe that their talents and abilities are fixed traits. They have a certain amount and that's that; nothing can be done to change it, and this can limit their success.
They become over-concerned with proving their talents and abilities, hiding deficiencies, and reacting defensively to mistakes or setbacks-because deficiencies and mistakes imply a (permanent) lack of talent or ability. People in this mindset will actually pass up important opportunities to learn and grow if there is a risk of unmasking weaknesses
Growth mindset - people believe that their talents and abilities can be developed through passion, education, and persistence.
It's not about looking smart or grooming their image.
It's about a commitment to learning--taking informed risks and learning from the results, surrounding yourself with people who will challenge you to grow, looking frankly at your deficiencies and seeking to remedy them.
Research shows that most great business leaders have had this mindset, because building and maintaining excellent organisations in the face of constant change requires it.
