It's important to recognize that a growth mindset is an overall paradigm for personal development rather than a pedagogical tool for measuring academic accomplishment.

5 Growth Mindset Practices

In their groundbreaking book, Professional Learning Communities at Work, Richard DuFour and Robert Eaker say it clearly when pointing out the issue that comes about when change initiatives are considered "a task to complete rather than an ongoing process." If we really want to improve our schools, our work, and the education of our students, we can do so by adopting a new mindset -- for everyone -- that would include:

1. Being humble enough to accept that there are things about ourselves and our practices that can improve
2. Becoming part of professional teams that value constructive critique instead of criticism
3. Treating setbacks as formative struggles within the learning process instead of summative failures
4. Realizing the restrictive role that timelines can play in reaching high standards, and using foundational philosophies such as Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to map systems so that everyone's growth is supported
5. Create flexible grouping at all times so that nobody's trapped in any one course level or particular type of work.

The best learning takes place in a social environment with other learners and a caring teacher. Technology isn't a revolution it's the evolution of education. Teachers still play an important role in inspiring their students and creating a caring and supportive environment in which students can learn, create, take risks and share.

This blog article extols the virtues of using the flipped classroom approach to address differentiation.

This article talks about a hybrid approach termed “fliperentiated” instruction and refers to flipping the classroom and also providing differentiated instruction for students. It combines the strengths of both of these approaches to teaching. The focus of this approach is to begin with the end in mind, use the data you receive from your students, and reframe the teacher’s role to more of a facilitator.
