GROWTH MINDSET
Mindset is a simple idea discovered by world-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck in decades of research on achievement and success—a simple idea that makes all the difference.

In a fixed mindset, people believe their basic qualities, like their intelligence or talent, are simply fixed traits. They spend their time documenting their intelligence or talent instead of developing them. They also believe that talent alone creates success—without effort. They are wrong.

                                  

In a growth mindset, people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work—brains and talent are just the starting point. This view creates a love of learning and a resilience that is essential for great accomplishment. Virtually all great people have had these qualities.

Teaching a growth mindset creates motivation and productivity in the worlds of business, education, and sports. It enhances relationships. When you read Mindset, you will see how.

STEAM LEARNING

Innovation remains tightly coupled with Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths – the STEM subjects. Art + Design are poised to transform our economy in the 21st century just as science and technology did in the last century. We need to add Art + Design to the equation — to transform STEM into STEAM.

How my students benefit ?

Traditional learning styles are not challenging, it injects boredom and students are left without any challenges. I have always look forward for changes and adapt the new learning styles to empower and motivate my 21st century learners.

Learning choices are encouraged in the classrooms by integrating all the STEAM subjects , use of Learning Menu and rubrics. These techniques have given a new horizon for effective teaching and hence  catering to the individual needs of my students.

 

TIMMS - Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study

TIMMS-Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study

TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study) is one of the studies established by the IEA aimed at allowing educational systems to compare students' educational achievement and learn from the experiences of others in designing effective education policy. This study was first conducted in 1995, and has been performed every 4 years thereafter. In most of the cycles the study assesses 4th and 8th grade students. Therefore, some of the participating educational systems have trend data across assessments from 1995 to 2011

It is important that  every educational institution should integrate TIMMS topics and questioning style in regular curriculum. TIMSS participants share the conviction that comparing education systems in terms of their organization, curricula, and instructional practices in relation to their corresponding student achievement provides information crucial for effective education policy-making.
