One weird trick your anxiety disorder doesn’t want you to know:
If you’re worried you did something that upset someone, tell them. Then you don’t have to worry about it for the next 48 hours.
You’re welcome!

I always find myself taking a surprising hard line during #lrnchat. Tonight’s was the role of org culture fostering (or limiting) growth mindset through incentives or modeling and I’m going to follow that line of thinking a bit more in conversations.
Q7) What did you learn tonight? How can you apply it to your own practice/life? Bonus: tying your response to Star Wars Day #lrnchat

Hearing stories of people who they respect doing the same. I love when conversations about coaching or performance reviews start with a leader sharing a time they were coached or got a tough review. #lrnchat
Q6. How can adult learners cultivate resilience and perseverance in the face of setbacks? #lrnchat

Embed it in the day-to-day. Personally, I know that I don’t make much time for learning if it’s a separate and not immediately relevant thing. I’m signed up for two classes next week that I need to reschedule for meeting conflicts! #lrnchat
Q5. What are some ways that organizations can create a culture of growth and continuous learning for adults? #lrnchat

I would argue that this doesn’t indicate that I don’t care about learning and growth. I know I need to grow in the topics I signed up for, but the outcomes are vague and long-term and my calendar is crowded now. #lrnchat

I think it’s heavily influenced by the environment outside of the classroom. An educator can create a safe environment, but if the learner is still scared to fail in front of peers because of the org culture, no amount of in-class support can overcome that. #lrnchat
Q4. How can educators support adults in developing a growth mindset and taking ownership of their learning? #lrnchat

The biggest thing is making sure that the others doing it are also beginners. Be mindful of who else is there. Even people with a growth mindset can get a bruised ego. #lrnchat
Q3. What strategies can be used to encourage adults to embrace new challenges and try something new? #lrnchat

One of the first things that I noticed when I started at my org was how well leaders modeled this. It immediately made me believe all of the rhetoric about trying things and learning from mistakes. Without that being modeled, it’s hard to trust it. #lrnchat
Q2. How can showing your work and learning from mistakes foster a growth mindset in adult learners? #lrnchat

AND without trusting it you can’t practice. Growth mindset is important, but it’s also limited by the environment that you’re in. If you can’t safely be wrong, you learn to stop trying new things. #lrnchat

I’m doing some research I came across this quote from Maria Montessori: “The teacher has two tasks: to lead the children to concentration and to help them in their development afterwards.” #lrnchat

I love @WTAL_Podcast so I was jazzed to take part in the one on — you guessed it! — empathy! It was a great conversation and a nice mix of high-level discussion and tips for practical application. Thanks to @AndrewJacobsLnD for creating this space and letting me join in ❤️

Level 1: Did I do it?
Level 2: Can I explain it to someone else or show them what I did?
Level 3: Is it a habit? And I incorporating it into my work or routine in some way?
Level 4: Did it solve the problem or have any outside-of-me-learning-this impact?
#lrnchat
Q4) When do you measure or record your learning? If you do measure your own learning, please describe what that looks like. #lrnchat

I usually stop writing it down after the first one, but this was a fun exercise to make me think about what I actually consciously keep track of (it's 1 and 4). #lrnchat

It's almost always that I solved the problem I was trying to solve or I did the thing I needed to do. The javascript code that I pasted together from a bunch of sources works because it does the thing I wanted it to do. #lrnchat
Q3) How do you know that you've learned? If you set a goal to learn something, how do you know you've completed the task? #lrnchat

If I want to know if I did the thing well and not just workably, then I usually have to ask someone who actually knows what they're doing. #lrnchat
