Growth Mindset Videos
The video above is worth watching as it demonstrates how a classroom teacher normalises struggle in her Grade 2 classroom so that students don't feel bad if they don't understand. She says "everyone is going to feel stuck. Everyone is going to feel challenged by it". It is inspiring hearing students commenting on how they are growing their brains.
The above video explains how learning a language can make your brain bigger, improving cognitive function.I found it interesting to hear how languages derived from Latin are so much more easier to learn than Japanese.Japanese was rated as one of the hardest of langauges to learn.
