Ali digs into questions for MathletePearce around how teachers in Ontario can effectively foster a growth mindset while assessing students in mathematics.  Let the table turning begin as Ali grabs the mic, tosses Jon to the curb and digs into some really important topics by asking Kyle for his perspectives on all things mindset, assessment and mathematics instruction!You’ll Learn: The experiences Kyle has engaged in to push is practice from delivering the mathematics curriculum in a teacher-centric manner to a more student-centric manner;Why a growth mindset is essential in helping students to develop a productive disposition towards mathematics;What it means to truly learn mathematics and what approaches we see in many classrooms are actually not helping students to learn mathematics; How developing a growth mindset and implementing that learning in a mathematics classroom affects the assessment and evaluation process; and,How to know whether you are “walking the walk” of a growth mindset in math class or simply “talking the talk”. Resources: Assessment For Growth [Course - Module 1 has Open Access]NORCAN Project - Tecumseh Vista Academy Video SummaryMake Math Moments Problem Based Lessons & UnitsDistrict Math Leaders: How are you ensuring that you support those educators who need a nudge to spark a focus on growing their pedagogical-content knowledge? What about opportunities for those who are eager and willing to elevate their practice, but do not have the support? Book a call with our District Improvement Program Team to learn how we can not only help you craft, refine and implement your district math learning goals, but also provide all of the professional learning supports your educators need to grow at the speed of their learning. Book a short conversation with our team now. Grab the free Make Math Moments 3-Part Framework Guidebook to extend your learning from this podcast!
