Welcome

Welcome to my E-volving portfolio!

I am currently a student in the Doctorate of Education program at the University of Delaware with a specialization in Curriculum, Technology and Higher Education.

This site is dedicated to creating a portfolio of my coursework and professional activities.

My education nirvana is all about changing mindsets. Thanks to Professor Carol Dweck's (Lewis and Virginia Eaton Professor of Psychology, Stanford University) research and publicity, I truly believe that the following is key to building innovation in our schools. See a very brief overview of Carol's work below.

• • Change Fixed Mindsets to Growth Mindsets

  • From Look Smart at All Costs to Learn at All Costs

  • From It Should Come Naturally to Work Hard, Effort is Key

    • From Hide Mistakes, Conceal Deficiencies to Capitalize on Mistakes & Confront Deficiencies

• My absolute favorite?

  • • No more failing grades instead support the concept of "Not Yet." I love this!

      • I am not good at math....yet

    • I can't do it....yet

• • This change in mindset opens up possibilities. 

"The more research shows us that human abilities are capable of growth, the more it becomes a basic human right for students to experience that growth, to live in an environment in which all students can fulfill their potential."

--Carol Dweck
