Podcast notes
Mindset
Guest: Dr. Rebecca Campbell

Recommended by Michelle Miller, from episode #026.

Associate Professor of Education and the Director and Department Chair for Academic Transition Programs at Northern Arizona University.

Promise me you’ll always remember: You’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.  – Christopher Robin

Background on mindset
  • Early introductions
  • Dissertation work on a piece: epistemological beliefs – where knowledge comes from.
  • “You either get it or you don’t.”
  • Growth vs fixed mindset

    Isn’t about teaching differently, but about framing the conversation differently. – Rebecca Campbell

    Performance barriers

    A better way of describing those things holding students back from academic achievement

    How to help students achieve more of a growth mindset
    • Normalize help-seeking behavior: supplemental instruction, tutoring, writing centers, office hours, peers
    • Help seeking behavior is a big deal
    • The shift between high school and college is pretty big. – Rebecca Campbell

      … students come and arrive with lots of incoming characteristics. None of these things have to be overcome, in order for them to be successful.

      • How they engage in learning. How they leverage help-seeking behaviors. << That’s what defines student success.
      • These processes can be guided, coached, mentored and taught. – Rebecca Campbell

        When we make the processes explicit, we make effort explicit and we are saying everyone can grow if you engage in the right processes. – Rebecca Campbell

        We can guide students about the process of learning.
