Send us Fan Mail

In this episode, Becca dives deep into the concept of learning mindsets. While growth mindset has been a popular focus, research shows that it's just one piece of a larger puzzle. To truly support teacher and student growth, instructional coaches and school leaders must consider four essential mindsets: belonging, growth mindset, self-efficacy, and value & purpose.

The episode emphasizes the importance of understanding these mindsets within the hierarchy of learner needs. Before focusing on instructional strategies, coaches and leaders must ensure teachers feel safe, valued, and capable. By diagnosing which mindset might be missing, coaches can provide targeted support to help teachers overcome obstacles and achieve their goals.

This episode offers valuable insights for coaches and leaders looking to create a more supportive and effective learning environment for all.
