We all humans have needs...
As I read chapter 12, I learned about the Maslow's Hierarchy of needs. To be honest, I do not think that i have ever thought of that. People do have needs, but they all start with a level and as you want more is starts to build upon. Not just now in present day, but back in the day as we humans began to develop we keep evolving with needed needs. It is true, i have applied it to my present days as a mother of one, and all I want to do is fulfill his needs and make him aware of what is the next step to get to the next. He is now aware that there is levels to wants and needs and how to get to them; as in matter in fact I also teach my students about it I just never thought where it had came from.
Although, people are not aware that having a positive growth mindset can really motivate each one of us. As a child I do not recall being reminded everyday to have a positive growth mindset, in which as a child it really affected me when I thought negative choices. being able to work in school settings , out of three schools I have worked for only one reminded each child through the intercom to have a growth mindset as they go on with their daily routines at schools. I really loved that part of the morning, 2 min out of the principals time really had an impact on the students.
In conclusion, reading chapter fourteen, was interested, because I was already aware of the Bloom Taxonomy system , but never really payed attention of its powers. I was amazed on how such a system is able to provide a powerful feedback regarding the results on our students test scores or coherence of the material taught. As I currently take quizzes i think about the order they are put in and i think about if I am actually understanding what I know. It is a good system to use to make sure our students are learning what they are suppose too.🙋
Erica, I agree with you when you mentioned as a child you don't remember to have a positive growth mindset.I think as we are working at schools and reading about all the positive things we can do for our students I have been bringing a lot of the materials to my co-workers. I agree with how awesome for a principal to take just a small portion of the day to remind her students to have a positive growth mindset. I feel like my principal always says our school is like her second home I feel like my principal and or any of the social workers should start using the intercom to inspire not only students but the staff as well.
