A Message From Your Seminar Leader

Dear Colleague:

Our students today are faced with many challenges, and we know their outlook on how they approach these challenges will make all the difference in whether they succeed in overcoming them. Having a Growth Mindset, as opposed to a fixed mindset, enables students to learn from their mistakes and strengthen their brains versus shutting down and stagnating. Too many of our students today associate mistakes with failure, which can negatively impact their learning journey as mathematicians.

I want to share with you proven ways you can encourage your grades K-6 mathematics students to take greater risks in their learning, even if it means their answer may not be correct on their first go around. I want to arm you with practical, highly effective ways to assist your students in becoming more successful in math by developing a Growth Mindset.

Some of the ideas I will share include:

How to create lesson plans that help students discover the relationship between grit and success
Numerous practical, easy-to-implement activities that develop Growth Mindset and strengthen problem solving skills
Techniques to help students overcome their fear of failure
Fact fluency strategies that alleviate math anxiety and develop Growth Mindset
Proven ways to encourage parents to help develop students’ Growth Mindset at home

Please join me for a day full of learning outstanding ways to implement Growth Mindset principles to greatly increase your students’ perseverance, engagement and success in mathematics.

Sincerely,
Sherri Adler

P.S. My goal is to provide you with practical ideas you can immediately implement in your classroom that will help your students develop more positive attitudes and experience greater success in mathematics!
