032 Laurence Improves His Feedback

Research on growth mindset took the education world by storm in the 2000’s, prompting excitement and criticism. We read a large scale expansion of the growth mindset research that addresses some of the most common criticisms of past work and provides actionable guidance for classroom teachers. Later, we look at how different forms of feedback can affect students’ ability to solve math problems on subsequent tests. Timely formative feedback is essential for student growth. Finally, our Peer Review features a debrief of an email conversation with author Maria Garcia Alvarez. She addresses some of our questions from episode 029, and we find common ground together. We drink Morning Island Blends, from Transport Brewery in Shawnee, KS.
