My vision for learning is to continue to challenge students and let them be creative in assignments. I will encourage students to use their strengths to help others and accept help with their weaknesses. I want to spend more time on other social media platforms to get innovative ideas to engage my students.

My new vision is to continue embracing communication and critical thinking and not to think of them as secondary characteristics to what my students are learning but skills that work in conjunction of what we're doing. I have to be willing to take risks and able to push my students, as the saying goes "innovate or die."
After reading this book I want to make a change on how I go about assigning homework within my math classrooms. I feel the pressure to always have to have daily homework, but now I want to find newer more fun ways to do this for the students. I know this change will be hard but I feel as though having paper/pencil homework gets to be so boring so I want to find different unique ways to better see my students ability to understand the lesson I have taught. Moving forward change is not easy but sometimes it will be what is best for myself and the students learning.
ReplyDeleteA new vision for learning that I want to apply in my classes is to focus more on the process of creating art, and not as much on the end product. The outcome is important but the process in which the art is created matters more to student learning. One way I can implement this learning is by giving more open-ended instruction for projects instead of step-by-step directions for projects. This will hopefully allow for the students to focus on the way it’s created, rather than how it looks when finished compared to other students. Projects or assignments that I give should allow for student’s work to look very different from one another’s.

My new vision for learning is that change can be something amazing. We might not see it at the moment we are told about a new change that is occurring, but with time and consideration, it can be amazing. I don’t want to stay uncomfortable in my classroom and stay to the same activities that I do every year. I want to make a change and find ways to make learning more engaging. I want to take a change into new learning opportunities that can make learning more impactful for my students now and future students to come.
After reading The Innovator’s Mindset, my vision for learning is pretty simple, keep what is working, but always ask, “How can I make it better?” Not everything needs to be reinvented all the time, but learning should be something that stays flexible, student-centered, and willing to improve.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I am going to implement right away is a regular “one small upgrade” check. I am going to pick one part of my curriculum when I can, a lesson, a project, an assessment, whatever it is, and tweak it to make it clearer, more engaging, or give students more voice and choice. At the same time, I want to be more intentional about reaching out to people in my building and district to bounce ideas around. I do not need to build everything on an island, and collaboration will help me make those improvements faster and better.

ReplyDeleteMy new vision of learning is to push students to learn and grow even when it is discomfortable for them. I will always encourage students to use their strengths to come forward and help others and when they discover their weaknesses, be willing to except help in those areas.

I don’t think I have a new vision for learning — but I think this book aligns well with my vision of learning. It’s refreshing to read something that aligns with what I think and believe about education. That felt good — to read something that was like talking to someone who thinks like me.
I don’t think I have anything I will implement immediately with students— but I am going to recommend this to some peers in education. Great book!
After reading this book, I want my students to have more of a say in their own learning. Rather than me coming up with what assignments or projects we will do, have them choose! I'd like to create more opportunities for meaningful discussions in class and through blog posts outside of class. I think digital portfolios are a great idea for kids to individualize their learning and to show others how much they've grown!
ReplyDeleteI am going to finally push myself to start using AI. I am immediately going to ask my students what their favorite AI tool is , to use in the classroom.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading The Innovator's Mindset, my new vision for learning focuses on creating a classroom where curiosity, creativity, and student voice drive instruction. I want my students—especially in early childhood special education—to be active participants in their learning, exploring, experimenting, and learning from mistakes in meaningful ways rather than just completing tasks.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I will implement immediately is more hands-on, choice-based learning experiences. By giving students opportunities to make decisions, explore materials, and solve problems in ways that interest them, I can start shifting my classroom toward this vision of engagement, independence, and innovation.
After reading Innovator’s Mindset, my vision for learning as a School Counselor has added more than previously, creating an environment where students are active participants in shaping their own education. I continue to hope for my students learning to be personalized, relevant, and tied to real-world experiences, where they can develop not only academic skills but also creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and self-awareness. The goal is for students to feel empowered to explore their interests, take risks, and grow through both successes and setbacks, rather than just chasing grades or test scores. One thing I’m going to encourage more immediately is a student-led goal-setting and reflection system. I would like to focus more on my students setting their own personal, social-emotional, and academic goals and tracking them as well. This allows students to take more ownership of their learning, helps me identify where support is needed, and fosters the kind of engagement and self-direction.
ReplyDeleteMy vision for learning is to continue to teach the basics because they are still important but to be creative every year and try new things whenever possible. I think finding ways for students to use technology in a more creative way would be a fun way to enhance the learning in my classroom. I also see myself constantly staying connected to other teachers across the world to always see how other teachers are doing things or what they might be trying in their classrooms. I love traveling and it is my goal to stop in to as many schools across the world to see how they do things or if there is a way we could connect or help each other. Teaching and learning should always be collaborative.
ReplyDeleteMy vision for learning is to create a classroom where kids learn the basics and can use their tools to become creative and confident in their learning. I will continue to challenge myself to find more and more basic ideas to help my students to achieve their goals and to empowe their learning.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading this book, my vision for learning in a PE/weightlifting setting is to create an environment where effort and consistency are valued just as much as results. I want students to see the weight room as a place to build lifelong habits - showing up, working hard, and pushing through challenges, rather than just a place to lift weights. Learning becomes less about hitting a certain number and more about developing a mindset that carries over into sports and life.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I will implement right away is placing a stronger emphasis on effort-based recognition. Instead of only highlighting top performers on the top lifting charts, I’ll bring more of an importance to acknowledging students who show consistency, improvement, the willingness to be coached, and a strong work ethic during workouts.
I work with athletes but also the life long lifter who just wants to learn the different lifts and feel confident walking into a college gym or facility after high school. This helps shift the focus so all students feel successful and motivated, not just the strongest ones.

My new vision for learning is to just keep learning! We can always learn and implement new strategies into our teaching. I think it's important as educators to adjust and learn as our classes change, we can't always stay the same. New learning and implementation of new learning can bring excitement and enjoyment into our classrooms.
One thing I am going to implement immediately is the concept of back to the basics. I teach the youngest students in the district, and sometimes I just want to get right into the games with them, but I know that they need to be able to throw and catch correctly before we can play some of our games. I want to provide them with a solid foundation where they can gain confidence in their skills and then be able to be creative with their movements and workouts as they get older.

I'm going to work harder to be innovative 'inside the box.' I have certain limits and parameters to my work, but what can I do within those to innovate? That will be my new focus.
After reading this book, my vision for learning has shifted from simply delivering content to creating experiences where students think, question, and apply their learning in meaningful ways. As a high school history teacher, my job is to tell stories, but I have realized how powerful it is when students do more than listen to those stories, they analyze them, question them, and connect them to the present and how I need to update and refresh them far more frequently to keep learning relevant and engaging.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I am going to implement immediately is incorporating more open ended discussion based questions that push students to think critically about historical events and defend their reasoning. Instead of focusing on finding the right answer, I want students to engage in deeper conversations that require analysis, perspective taking, and application of knowledge. I also need to provide students with more options to explore topics within a general theme that may interest them, empowering them to follow their curiosity and seek out connections that spark their interest. This will help move my classroom closer to a learning environment that values thinking, creativity, and growth.
My new vision for learning is to embrace the changes. This is an area that I have struggled with in the past and there is plenty of room for growth. To make this a reality, I am going to start changing small components of my lessons to better empower my students in their learning. Connecting with other educators online and searching out ideas or examples will be one small step that I can take to help my students grow in their learning. I need to be open to change and remind myself that change is inevitable and it's what helps us grow.
ReplyDeleteMy new vision for learning focuses on student agency and real-world application instead of compliance and memorization. I want my classroom to be a place where students develop the resourcefulness and critical thinking they need to navigate life after graduation.
ReplyDeleteI am immediately implementing more open-ended problem-solving tasks. Instead of providing a single path to a correct answer, I will give students scenarios that require them to choose their own tools and defend their reasoning. This shifts the focus from task completion to genuine understanding.
