I learned so much while preparing my Learning Manifesto. I tried to cover several topics that were meaningful to me and have implications for digital learning. Additionally, I added recorded narration and several sketch notes with related topics by Sylvia Duckworth.
“The usual mantra is to try harder. Trying harder is impossible when you’re already trying as hard as you can. But you can always try DIFFERENT.” ~ Seth Godin
I strongly believe that every student can learn if they are provided the optimum opportunities and learning conditions. Carol Dweck’s research and teachings state that because of brain plasticity, learners can grow through challenges to learn new concepts and skills. This requires learners to have a growth mindset, be willing to expend effort and not stay discouraged when facing a setback.
If teachers blend growth mindset training and beliefs with learning experiences designed based on the UDL principles, then they are setting the stage for student success. Because the learning needs of students vary a great deal, the Universal Design for Learning principles indicate that teachers should provide flexible options for how content is presented to students, how students engage in that content and how they demonstrate their knowledge.
