Colorado Mindset Academy Convening Registration

Why we're gathering

The in-person convening is the third and final part of the Colorado Mindset Academy, where educators from across Colorado's institutions of higher education will come together to strengthen how we support student motivation, especially in high-stakes moments when learning gets hard. We will gather at Red Rocks Community College, our host campus, where we invite instructors from across Colorado who are interested in learning more about learning mindsets to join us. Together, we'll share and practice evidence-based, classroom-ready strategies that build key learning mindsets: Growth Mindset, Purpose and Relevance, and Sense of Belonging. Participants will leave with a shared framework, practical tools they can use right away, and clear next steps for how to integrate practices that enhance student motivation in their classrooms, departments, and campuses.

Learning Mindsets

Students' beliefs about themselves as learners and their learning environment.
G

Growth Mindset

Belief that our abilities can be developed through hard work, the use of effective strategies, and seeking help from others when needed.

P

Purpose and Relevance

Belief that one's schoolwork is valuable because it is connected to a larger purpose and/or relevant to one's life.

S

Sense of Belonging

Belief that one is academically and socially connected, supported, and respected.

Convening participants will be able to:

1

Identify and adapt successful strategies for motivating learners in their classes

2

Describe the value of students receiving motivational support across learning contexts and classes

3

Identify responsive strategies to meet student needs, based on real data from your students
