Teacher and Student Mindsets, writing homework help

According
to Sousa and Tomlinson (2011), “Brain studies suggest that a
stimulating learning environment may have a significant impact on an
individual’s brain development and eventual level of intelligence” (p.
33). Creating a stimulating learning environment is largely dependent on
teacher and student mindsets that are influenced by beliefs,
assumptions, and expectations.

Take a moment to reflect on your personal educational experiences and answer the following questions:

1. Describe a positive and negative classroom
   experience you have had in your educational experience and the mindset
   of the teacher in both those situations.
   • Did you feel that your teacher’s mindset in both situations impacted your own mindset in any way? How?
   • Using these educational experiences and watching the video Building a Community, describe at least three ways in which you will create your own positive and stimulated learning environment.
     • How will you create an atmosphere where students can take intellectual risks without fear of ridicule?
     • How will you manage inappropriate behavior, avoid bullying and put-downs?
     • What steps will you take to create an atmosphere where students feel safe and included?

Be sure to use evidence from the text to support your assertions.
