Here is a snippet of the press release Class Dojo has put together and released!
Today ClassDojo and Stanford University’s Project for
Education Research That Scales (PERTS) announced a partnership to help millions of
students learn about ‘growth mindset’ in their classrooms. As part of this partnership,
ClassDojo developed a five-part series of animated videos that will be available free to all
teachers. It is the first in ClassDojo’s “Big Ideas” series, where ClassDojo will bring
cutting-edge research into the classroom -- with characters that students know and love.
The idea of growth mindset, researched and popularized by Professor Carol Dweck and
colleagues at Stanford University, is the notion that intelligence and abilities can be
developed over time. The opposite is a ‘fixed’ mindset, which is the belief that these abilities
are innate and can’t change. Research has shown that when students possess a growth
mindset, and see challenge as an opportunity to learn, they are more likely to persevere
when faced with setbacks.
“When children believe their abilities are tied to things they can’t change, the windows of
opportunity surrounding them shut one by one,” said Dave Paunesku, executive director of
Stanford PERTS. “ClassDojo’s reach and mission to help teachers, parents, and students
transform education from the ground up made it the natural partner for us to share this
concept with teachers at a massive scale.”
I know I am super excited about this and can not wait to share this with my kids and with the other teachers at my school!
Thank you Class Dojo for once again going above and beyond to provide educators with so many important tools they can use in the classroom!!!!
