Let me start by saying I have nothing inherently against makerspaces, tinker labs, āsimpleā STEM centers, task cards, and activities. They can be great ā in much the same way your favorite breakfast cereal is āpartā of a complete breakfast.

"And this is where our misstep is with many growth mindset skills: we talk the talk, but we donāt give students tools they need to understand how to walk the walk." stemchallenge.com/2020/02/07/teaā¦
"Itās important to encourage behaviors you like, so I take notes during Q or A on great questions and award bonus points on the rubrics or design analysis handouts for participating so fully in this part of the STEM Challenge Cycle."

I know the feeling. You planned a fun STEM Challenge and itās going to be a great day! You envisioned students hard at work, excelling in their designs, topped off with joyful chatter ⦠maybe even a āBest day ever!ā thrown in here or there.

Growth mindset is more than lip service. Are you creating a classroom culture of growth mindset, or just asking your kids not to complain about hard work?

I have resisted the topic of assessing STEM Challenges for a long time. I get a worry-headache from the thought of undermining certain goals through excessive assessment.
