Mindset - Presentation from the HOD Physical Education

As part of our work on mindset, my inquiry group had a visit from the HOD Health and Physical Education today.  Mr Moyes brought over some of his art boards that he did when he was at school and talked about how he approached the work in a positive mindset.
It is good for the students to see people in different lights and to see different skill sets that they did not know about in people.

"Neuroplasticity is the ability of the brain to change, adapt, and “rewire” itself throughout our entire life."

"We need to step back, take a breath, and realise that it is not about how fast students master learning. It is about the perseverance and effort that they put forth and the strategies that they utilise."

In order for my students to develop and use a growth mindset, they have to see it in action in different situations.

  1. Kia ora Karen, I completely agree with you in terms of having students learning about different perspectives by having Mr Moyes, HoD Health and PE, share his art and design boards with them. Fantastic link back to the reading 'Building a Growth Mindset Learning Community'.
