A topic discussed in this weeks class that i will incorporate in my classroom is the idea of a fixed mind set versus a growth mind set. A fixed mind set is found in someone who is negative, not confident and thinks that they cannot better themselves through learning and hard work. They believe that their knowledge cannot be changed and they are unable to learn something because they are not smart enough. The opposite to this is a growth mind set. An individual with a growth mindset will accept that they made a mistake and will do everything they can to fix their problem and correct the work.
This week also consisted of an activity where we analyzed a pattern using blocks and examining how it changed. Generally speaking, i did not find any of the work from this week difficult or particularly useful when it comes to teaching.
I enjoyed getting to know my fellow teachers and developing our groups for our projects. Overall, im not entirely sure what i should be expecting from this course. The first 2 classes weren't overly beneficial and i do not know when they real teaching lessons will begin, Having a background related to math, i was hoping we would dive into the teaching of math more quickly, but that does not seem to be the case. I have high expectations for this week.
