CEP 810 Reflection

The Power of Mindset: Reflecting on My Learning Journey in CEP 810

As I conclude my time in CEP 810, I’ve taken the opportunity to reflect on my growth as both a learner and an educator. A pivotal theme throughout the course has been the importance of mindset, particularly the transition from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset. This concept has not only reshaped my approach to learning but has also influenced how I plan to inspire my future students.

In my original essay, I explored the challenges I faced in learning and how memorization often limited my understanding. However, it lacked personal depth and a clear connection to educational theories. Read my original essay here to see how my initial thoughts were structured.

Through the revision process, I incorporated personal experiences that illustrated my journey toward adopting a growth mindset. This shift allowed me to embrace challenges and view setbacks as opportunities for growth. In the revised essay, I reflect on how this mindset can empower both myself and my students to engage deeply with learning.

Additionally, the course emphasized the role of technology in fostering a growth mindset. By leveraging tools that encourage collaboration and creativity, I can create an environment where students feel safe to explore, take risks, and learn from their experiences. This integration of technology aligns perfectly with the principles of a growth mindset, providing endless opportunities for exploration and learning.

Ultimately, my time in CEP 810 has reinforced the significance of mindset in education. As I move forward, I am committed to fostering a growth mindset in my students, encouraging them to embrace challenges and view learning as a lifelong journey. I look forward to applying these insights in my classroom and nurturing a love of learning in all my students.
