1. Growth Mindset and Habits of Mind Gavilan College August 14th-16th Miguel Powers, Fullerton College Scott Sandler, Gavilan College

2. Applying Learning to Personal Practice
Will work to give more beneficial feedback to students to support growth mindset
Will work on GM activities like drawing picture of brain, spoon and cotton ball activity, and share ESL learning strategies to show how the brain works.
Will reconsider grading/assessment structure/approaches
Will use basic illustrations and vocabulary to convey GM to limited English speakers
Will add “how the brain works” to first class
Will create equity activities so students won’t feel so bad because they often compare themselves to others.

3. Applying Learning to Personal Practice
Will consider ways to build community/relationships in both classes (learning communities)
Will put HoM on strips, present, and discuss.
Will work on non-verbal (or bilingual) presentations of GM/HoM
Will think about motivation strategies that works in my classroom.
Will use backwards design/nesting with others and to help me with me with personal planning and assessment.  Will consider role of Habits in assessment work.

4. Questions
* How to incorporate an assessment rubric that encourages a GM.
* Are rubrics embraced in adult school/college?
More strategies to help ESL students ask more questions.
* How can one learn “thinking flexibly”—along the lines of “how do you know what you don’t know”?
* Some time for collaboration?  More time for collaboration.
No questions at this point, but might think of some down the road.
