7 WAYS TO HELP DEVELOP GROWTH AS MENTORS:

TIP 1: EMBRACE IMPERFECTION
Encourage students to view their mistakes as important steps in their learning journey. Reinforce the idea that no one has ever learned something valuable without making mistakes along the way.

TIP 2: REFRAME CHALLENGES AS OPPORTUNITIES
Cultivating a growth mindset is about teaching students how to learn and use strategies to overcome challenges. Explain the benefits of overcoming obstacles for people who push through comfort zones to meet challenges head on.

TIP 3: PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR SELF-EVALUATION
Take time to help students reflect on both their successes and failures. Help them discover more about their ability to work through a problem to find a solution. Praise the process followed, student effort and individual development over the result alone. Encourage a sense of curiosity.

TIP 4: HELP STUDENTS CHANGE THEIR LANGUAGE
Language – written and spoken – is an excellent tool for helping students see the difference between fixed and growth mindsets. Put this to the test by having students practice phrases that promote a growth mindset “Mistakes help you learn.” Avoid language like “You’re so smart” or “Wrong answer.”

TIP 5: TRY DIFFERENT TEACHING TECHNIQUES
Use a variety of instructional strategies tailored to meet the learning needs of all students. For content use video and audio clips, presentations, and other mediums. Have students work individually, in pairs and in small and large groups. Challenge students to demonstrate their understanding of content via tests, projects, and assignments.

TIP 6: MODEL A GROWTH MINDSET FOR STUDENTS
As critical role models for students, it’s important for mentors to let students see their growth mindset in action. Be honest about something that is difficult for you. Tell students when you’re discouraged and discuss solutions with them. Involving students in this way helps them see the need to work though challenges to make progress.

TIP 7: COLLABORATE ON WORK EXPERIENCE BUILDER AND ENGAGE WITH STUDENTS
ENgaging with students around meaningful work offers the opportunity to share operational knowledge on how work is currently performed as well as how processes came to be in the current state and future possibilities. Participate In A CGPP Cohort

Term Of The Day: Log4Shell
Log4Shell was a zero-day vulnerability found in Log4j, a popular Java logging framework used on several Java platforms. Log4j, a project of Apache Software Foundation, offers an open-source logging framework for developers for logging purposes, which is a process commonly used by software development teams to record an activity. WHAT IS LOG4SHELL? Log4Shell is a zero-day vulnerability, as it went unnoticed since 2013. At the time of Log4Shell’s discovery, it had affected hundreds of millions of devices. According to some estimates, it has impacted 3 billion systems globally. WHEN WAS LOG4SHELL DISCOVERED? In November 2021, the Log4Shell vulnerability was privately disclosed to Apache Software Foundation by Chen Zhaojun. Zhaojun is a security researcher for Alibaba, which is the largest e-commerce company in China. The vulnerability was disclosed publicly on December 9, 2021, when servers hosting the game Minecraft were attacked. The Apache security team set Log4Shell’s severity rating at 10/10 and issued a patch to fix the vulnerability; however, the first patch was not completely successful, requiring subsequent patches to fix Log4 Shell. On December 28, 2021, Apache released the fourth patch to fix the vulnerability. HOW DOES LOG4SHELL WORK? One of the reasons Log4Shell is dangerous is how easy it is to use and how widely used the Log4j library is. Some of the major applications such as VMware and Amazon Web Services (AWS) use Log4j. This widespread use of Log4j makes patching to fix Log4Shell extremely difficult and complex. The Log4j library controls how a computer program logs information. This means that when the attackers exploit the Log4Shell vulnerability, they can gain access and control over the string to execute malicious code on the computer program or device. Attackers can even use Log4Shell to take over the servers that house it.
