Fostering Positive Feedback and a Growth Mindset

An IATEFL monthly webinar, presented by Roxana Arean (recorded November 2023)

During this session, we focus on two key, related concepts to help improve our students’ learning journey.

When teaching, no matter our learners’ age, we have a huge responsibility as we’re not only working with their cognitive skills but also with their emotional brain and also their most vulnerable asset: their mindset. We address the following questions during this session:

• Is positive feedback just about being positive?
• What should we focus on when giving feedback: the process or the student? Why?
• What is the relationship between deedback and students’ mindset?
• What’s your mindset as a teacher and as a person?

In this Webinar, we delve into the relationship between positive feedback and growth mindset and try to determine a deeper understanding about our learners’ journey from a scientific perspective. Growing as individuals and working on our self-development will undoubtedly improve our professional career. Understanding ourselves and being empathetic towards our students’ process is key to truly make a change in today’s education and the generations to come.
