@snewell thank you so much for this post, your insight on growth mindset in math and your wealth of knowledge and resources. To be honest, I didn’t expect to see so many similarities between the lower and upper grade about mindset in math but it is really exciting to see that collaboration in math can and should happen across all grades. You’ve…Read more

@snewell I have wanted to reply to your blog since you posted it. I have actually read and re-read it several times now (even though it’s a recent post)! I am so impressed by your journey this year, and excited to see how your action plan evolves during the upcoming 2017-18 year! I will be checking out Jo Boaler’s book for sure, and I’m hoping I…Read more

@sregli You are DEFINITELY going to want to connect with @snewell today as she has undertaken a very similar Action Plan and has some great data and methodologies / strategies to share about how to build mindset in Math classrooms. Her project went viral at TYS and ended up impacting Gr 3 – 12 classroom. Check out her blog and make sure you talk…Read more

@snewell Remind me tomorrow to show you how to publish your link so all can see it. Right now your presentation is still not viewable to anyone outside of York. A quick change will solve it.

@snewell so fun to read through these early comments to see the “roots” of your action plan take shape @gnichols @lmcbeth @ddoucet @shelleythomas @adamcaplan

@snewell Is it so cool that after this post was written your survey went viral across the school which led almost all the grades participating. Such a great accomplishment. Now we just have to coordinate and apply some of your great tips to explicitly grow and nurture mindset.

In reply to - Suzanne Newell wrote a new post on the site Suzanne Newell Before I began discussing the topic of math mindset with my students, I wanted to assess my students’ current attitudes about math. I wanted to know if t […]

@snewell This is such great work! I just went through your staff presentation deck which was a nice consolidation of all your work. With a coordinated effort do you think it might be possible to elevate the overall mindset score of the school? Did the book mention or give examples of schools who went on a similar journey? With a coordinated effort…Read more

@snewell I loved action plans that are focused around shifting student mindsets because they usually involve the creation of some really creating learning experiences. On Friday mine the cohort for what should go into your week of “inspirational math” I am sure you will come away with tons of ideas.

@snewell It has been amazing to watch you over the years invest so much of your professional development time and energy into the ART and Science of teaching math. You are becoming a true expert in this area. I am excited to see where you take your action plan.

In reply to - Suzanne Newell wrote a new post on the site Suzanne Newell Over the years, I have become very interested in best practices in the area of Mathematics. I want to know how “best” to teach math – teach in a way that […]

I didn’t know you moderated the #pyp chat! That is awesome!
@snewell would really benefit from that as well as any other PYP teachers in the cohort.
Let’s let people know at the next F2F.
I would also love to read and learn all about your Bold Schools book.
Congratulations – that is quite an accomplishment.
