MINDSET RESOURCES FROM EDUTOPIA

• Developing a Growth Mindset: Watch Carol Dweck speak about the power of yet versus the tyranny of now and her research on growth mindset. (Stanford Alumni, 2014)
• Stanford University’s Carol Dweck on the Growth Mindset and Education: Read an interview transcript for an introduction to Carol S. Dweck’s work and thinking, including her research into mindsets and the concept of "fixed mindset" versus "growth mindset." (OneDublin.org, 2012)
• Recognizing and Overcoming False Growth Mindset: Clarify some common misconceptions about growth mindset. "Growth Mindset: Clearing Up Some Common Confusions" from KQED's MindShift is another good read. (Edutopia, 2016)

Hi students! Below, you will find a list of things to do as soon as possible. Please be sure to check them off and complete everything listed out below by Friday, August 26th, and be ready to turn in your completed "Profile Cards" by Monday, August 29th.

Due by Friday, August 26th:
1. Join Google Classroom
2. Get your syllabus signed by a parent/guardian
3. Have your parent/guardian complete the online survey (emailed to you) 
4. Subscribe to my YouTube channel, the Mendez Mustangs Media YouTube channel, and follow me on social media (if possible) - SnapChat, Twitter, Instagram, Remind101 (I will give you the code for this soon). All of my usernames are the same - @LearnPark 
5. Create an online digital portfolio (aka a website or blog) using any of the following sites: weebly, google sites, edublogs or any other sites that are appropriate for educational purposes (you can ask me if you're not sure). 

Due by Monday, August 29th: 
1. Create a 'Profile Card" that includes your name, five words about yourself, a selfie, your blog/website URL, and a QR code. A template for this "Profile Card" will be passed out to you through google drive (classroom + docs). This should be about half a page big and should be ready for me to print out and display on our Student Exhibition bulletin board. I will NOT be printing these in color, so be sure to use colors that show up on a gray scale. 

There will be other assignments and an introductory project that will be explained on Thursday, so you should try to complete the 5 + 1 "things to do" as soon as possible. Thanks! If you have any questions, feel free to email me!
