In the education world, teachers sometimes can be overly focused on the results and outcomes in competitions and tests. And the question I have is - "What mindset does that produce for students in the long run?"

I leave you with an idea and three questions. The Japanese word Kaizen means "change for better".

1. How do you create experiences for your students that help them change and acquire the values you believe in?
2. How does extrinsic motivators and rewards like tests and competitions actually shape your students perspective - especially if they are their main focus?
3. Do you instill Kaizen or continuous improvement experiences into your student's learning paths?
