I have always hated getting things wrong. As a student, I aimed to get everything correct on the first try -- after all, that was how school had trained me to think. It wasn't until I became a teacher that I realized how destructive that fixed mindset is to the learning process. Unfortunately, I had no idea how to help my students develop a growth mindset. I tried all kinds of strategies, but, spoiler alert, none of them worked. Then, a colleague introduced me to a game-changing practice: reflection (thanks, Brian Hyosaka). Regular reflection helps students embrace mistakes as part of learning and recognize that reflecting on past experiences can improve future outcomes.
