Mindset Works’ Blog

When I first became a teacher, I spent a lot of time at first thinking about how I would support students when they struggled. My mind was automatically programmed to think that whatever I'd be teaching, it was going to be difficult for some students, and I needed to be ready to offer an available scaffold to them. And if that scaffold did not work, I needed to have something else ready for them so that they would keep working in my class. My mindset was focused on helping students learn and although my intentions were pure, looking back on this, I'm feeling exhausted!
