choices. It is normally contrasted to natural forces, which are causes

involving only unthinking deterministic processes.” Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agency_(philosophy)

If a growth mindset is necessary for us to engage in deliberate practice to become more expert-like in our disciplines…

…what about your students? What is their mindset towards your class? Most likely a mix of fixed and growth.

How do you help your students become more expert-like?

Goal-directed practice coupled with targeted feedback are

critical to learning. [3]

Goals can direct the nature of focused practice, provide the basis

for evaluating observed performance, and shape the targeted

feedback that guides students’ future efforts. [p. 127]

Targeted feedback gives students prioritized information about

how their performance does or does not meet the criteria so they

can understand how to improve their future performance. [p. 141]

Students come to the classroom with preconceptions about how

the world works…Teachers must draw out and work with the

preexisting understandings that their students bring with

them. (How People Learn [1])

contrasting cases

Teachers must teach some subject matter in depth, providing

many examples in which the same concept is at work and

providing a firm foundation of factual knowledge
