I chose to study this infographic for Week 3's Growth Mindset because in my class I tutor that is learning English, the student's are learning about possession and how 's shows ownership. This 's concept is not in Spanish so it is causing a lot of confusion, especially since contractions are a thing! Since we talked about the growth mindset in the beginning of the semester, I was aware of the importance of emphasizing "not yet" in learning and that is something I have really been focusing on, not only in the way I tutor my students, but in the ways I think about my own learning. One thing from this infographic that I need to work on is avoiding the urge to rescue learners. Sometimes I can be quick to give them the answer without having them work for it and I know this is a really bad habit. Not only does it not promote growth, but it can eventually stunt their learning. I need to stop! As far as my own learning, I want to build reflection into the process, which I have actually been trying to do by tweeting one new thing I learn a day.
