This podcast episode takes a deep dive into the world of mindset and social emotional learning. Becca Silver and Dr. Kendra Coates shared insights and personal experiences that got us thinking about how mindset shapes our education journey.

This episode is all about keeping it real when it comes to workplace culture and language in education. Dr. Coates made a simple but powerful suggestion: Let's call it a workplace, not just a school. This small change in how we talk about it can actually make a big difference in how we treat and support educators.

The discussion also got into the heart of neuroplasticity, which is basically our brain's amazing ability to keep growing and changing. Understanding this brain magic is a game-changer when it comes to embracing a growth mindset. It is actually at the heart of growth mindset (which is most often misunderstood). And let's not forget about educational trauma – it's not just a student thing; it affects educators too. The way we simply do school (outside of the pandemic) research has found 9 traumas that come from it. Listen in to find out about some of these hidden wounds.

There are practical tips for boosting our own growth mindset throughout this episode. It can be as simple as paying attention to the words we use and embracing a bit of mental exercise. Becca and Kendra challenge us to see education as a workplace, not just a school. This episode will shake things up for you and give you a fresh perspective on your personal educational setting.
