 Resource: Expose Talented Kids from Low-Income Families to Inventors and They're More Likely to Invent

 

Students in school are often asked to solve puzzles, answer questions, figure out connections by themselves. But many students when working alone find they do not immediately see the answers to problems or the connections between academic materials.

 

They begin to think of themselves as being not good at different learning or they think of themselves as a failure at learning a topic.

 

They adopt fixed mindsets "I can't do this . . . ."  They become disengaged, discouraged, defeated and ashamed.  

 

Supportive Tutors/Coaches/Mentors Use Mistakes As Teaching Tools

 

  • Tutors have an essential role helping students solve the puzzles they encounter in all academic subjects to make growth mindsets.

 

  • By solving puzzles students see themselves successfully achieving academically; achieving strengthen their beliefs that they can and increases their motivation to continue to do so.

 

  • Tutors must use multiple strategies to help students/no one strategy fits every learner

 

  • Coaching is necessary to inspire and empower learners.

 

  • You can adopt multiple personalities to support student learners:

 

HUMOR is a significant learning/teaching tool. 

 

Tutors/Coaches/Mentors Use Mistakes as Teaching Tools.  Mistakes show learning and give direction for next steps.

  • Visit Sample Fraction Problems from Usable Math and ask students how they would help a student solve this puzzle

 

  • Show the coaches and their different approaches

 

  • The coaches are tutors!
