Division 2 continues to talk about hard work as the theme this year. Students have received various assignments back marked over the last couple weeks. The results of those assignments have been directly connected to the work put into them. This kind of self-reflection is a new way of looking at themselves as learners and as well as a new way for you as parents to see them. No longer do we say "you are good at..." but instead "I am impressed how hard you worked on..." Attached is a recent article from the Huffington Post based on Carol Dweck's research. Check it out:
