Jamey Lovin, Plaza Middle School Math Coach
Virginia Beach City Public Schools
Yes, children love praise!
“I shouldn’t try drawing anything
hard or they’ll see I’m no Picasso.”
We hear these as supportive,
esteem-boosting messages.
“You learned that so
quickly! You’re so smart!”
What they hear.
“If I don’t learn something
quickly, I’m not smart.”
“Look at that drawing. Is he the
next Picasso or what?”
“I’d better quit studying or
they won’t think I’m brilliant.”
What is the intended reach of your professional development?
Are your School Practices, Policies, Procedures, and Protocols
Growth Mindset Friendly?
Administrators Reflection and Planning for a
Growth Mindset Culture
“Look Fors” in a Growth Mindset Learning Environment
Educators’ Growth Mindset Sentence Samples
General mindset interventions can be helpful for shifting
students’ mindsets, but if students return to mathematics
classrooms working in the same ways they always have, that
growth mindset about math slowly erodes away.
- Jo Boaler
Sketch your brain. What does it look like?
How does it work?
Is it a sponge? Is it a muscle?
How do we learn things?
Thinking about goals and objectives . . . .
How do you excite those reluctant learners?
Teach broad, visual, and creative math – Jo Boaler
Allowance / Investing / Cooking / Building
Skateboards/Batting Averages/Football
Snowflakes/Architecture
Computer Gaming/Coding

Science (Water Molecules/Dolphins/Spreading Germs)
Safe Environment
(Class Norms, Math Talks, Mental Math, Error Analysis)
Asking Questions
(Encourage them, Model them)
Live on the edge of competence
(Differentiation, Learning Progressions)
Choose difficult tasks
(Choice Boards, Menus, RAFTs, Option Assignments)
Open-ended tasks that promote problem solving,
multiple representations, and are cognitively demanding

Math is a growth subject, it takes time to learn and it is
all about the effort!
Power of productive struggle – how do we capture it?
Don’t forget those tasks !!
Power of mistakes and BOUNCING BACK
(many books and videos in references)
Grit (see references)
It’s how you handle a mistake that makes it worthwhile!

Many thanks to my colleague Amy Moore, Gifted and Talent Resource
Teacher at Plaza Middle School for allowing me to start with her Growth
Mindset powerpoint and make it my own.
It’s is so wonderful not to have to reinvent the wheel.
Please feel free to do the same!
