A New Era of PD for NZ teachers
Core Ed's Derek Wenmoth's blogpost
"There’s an old saying, “There’s nothing more certain than change”, and this will certainly be true as educators in NZ prepare to return to work in 2016. Whether we’re re-thinking what we teach,how we teach, where we teach and even who we teach, dealing with the demands of change is the biggest challenge facing schools, kura, and centres today."
"Life" - great growth mindset poem from 1903
I found this in a poem book belonging to my late father - Vic Ashe
The little red book is titled "Poems of Power" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1903)
Just goes to show growth mindset is not a new concept but something we need to learn - or are we born with a growth mindset? Something to ponder on...
anyway, the poem ..

Life
All
in the dark we grope along,
And
if we go amiss
We
learn at least which path is
Wrong,
And
there is gain in this.
We
do not always win the race
By
only running right;
We
have to tread the mountain’s base
Before
we reach it’s height.
The
Christs alone no errors made;
So
often had they trod
The
paths that lead through the light and shade,
They
had become as God.
As
Krishna, Buddha, Christ again,
They
passed along the way,
And
left these might truths which men
But
dimly grasp today.
But
he who loves himself the last
And
knows the use of pain,
Though
strewn with errors all his past,
He
surely shall attain.
Some
souls there are that needs must taste
Of
wrong, ere choosing right;
We
should not call those years a waste
Which
led us to the light.

Uni blog for Applied Practice paper
