2 Productive Struggle in Action According to Baker, a supportive classroom encourages productive struggle. Mathematical comprehension and problem-solving skills could be increased by providing students with open- ended questions when engaging. Appropriate scaffolding will provide struggling students with the appropriate learning process. When students experience productive struggle, it nurtures their mathematical development. Baker Jesus, Jacobs, Empson, and Case emphasized the significance of productive struggle in math education. They highlight the advantages of engaging students in challenging tasks and fostering persistence (p.367). The Power of Believing that you can Improve I believe the most powerful thing within oneself is the power to believe. If you do not believe in yourself who will? Carol Dwek expresses the power of believing you can improve. She talks about the phrase “Not yet”. She believes receiving the phrase “not yet” instead of receiving a failing grade gives a sense of hope. “Not yet” creates a turning point. She feels the need to achieve an “A” is a constant validation students carry with them throughout life. Praise wisely and not praising intelligence is a way to build a bridge to “yet”. The power of Passion and Perseverance Angela Lee Duckwork explains her theory of “grit.” Is it IQ we need to be successful in this world? Grit is passion and perseverance for a long-term goal. Ducksork and her team did research at West Point Military Academy. They discovered it wasn’t just about IQ and Intellect, but it was grit. Many teachers and parents how to build grit. She did not have the answer, but stated it was a mindset. Having a growth mindset develops grit. Students who have the most grit are the ones to most likely graduate and be successful. “We need to be gritty about getting our kids gritter”(Angela Lee Duckwork).

3 Classroom Rules are reimagined as the rights of the learner Classroom rules are reimagined as the rights of learners. Kalinec-Craig and Robles highlight reframing the traditional classroom rules should be the rights of the learner. Transferring and reframing from the traditional model-based classroom empowers and promotes a positive learning environment. The strategies implement collaboration that creates ongoing reflection and negotiation with students. The author discusses the benefits of a transformation perspective in classrooms and promoting student-centered mathematics learning experiences. A Menu of Risk-Taking Scaffolds Ruet and Torres (2020) developed a menu of risk-taking scaffolds to encourage mathematical risk in students. When encouraging mathematical risk there should be a significance of nurturing in the classroom. The scaffolding strategies that were discussed encourage students to take academic risks. Providing opportunities for collaborative learning and fostering a secure and supportive classroom environment are strategies offered throughout the article. Implementing these strategies empowers students in their mathematical development through risk-taking. Teaching Children The Importance Of Mistakes In Learning Mistakes are a part of life. No matter how we try to avoid them. We go through life trying not to make a mistake, but mistakes are inevitable and are bound to happen. Learning to embrace mistakes will help you thrive throughout life. Shelly Brewer teaches her son about the importance of embracing mistakes instead of having meltdowns. Her son dreaded errors and reacted angrily when he made one. She taught her son to cope and thrive through mistakes and emphasized the significance of how the brain learns and functions. She stressed that mistakes serve as an alarm clock for the brain, and it senses the need to concentrate and learn when mistakes are made.

4 Prompt: Part II When fostering a growth mindset in the classroom teachers must start with themselves first. When teachers believe there could be a shift in the mind the students will too. The student will start to believe just as well as the teachers. Incorporating new insight in my classroom will start with me altering my behavior. Most classrooms are fixated on achieving high scores or correct answers. During the years I have learned all students are not going to be proficient. Some will never make it to grade level status, but if students are showing growth that means the students can retain and understand the information. Therefore, I will focus more on developing and designing risk-taking and problem- solving in an explicit manner. These articles mention several strategies to transform the classroom and promote a growth mindset.
