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: Digital Wallet
A digital wallet is an online platform or software application that stores payment information. They can be used on mobile devices, tablets, smart watches, and laptop or desktop computers. Digital wallets don’t process transactions themselves; instead, they store the debit and credit card details, bank account and routing numbers, loyalty card information, and digital coupons, then provide this information to the payment processor upon request. Digital wallets can be used for e-commerce transactions or in-person purchases, though some older point of sale (POS) hardware is not compatible with digital wallet technology. In addition to payment details, digital wallets can also store hotel keys, flight boarding passes, concert tickets, and membership cards.
