Perpetuating Experience has a mixed effect on students Congenial Promotes a Mixed Psychology

Domesticating Experience has a net negative effect on students Competitive Promotes a Psychology of Failure

The Core of a Sound and Healthy School Climate:


A Psychology of Success (POS)
Success Psychology (POS) Internal Locus of Control Belonging & Acceptance Failure Psychology (POF) External Locus of Control Alienation and Worthlessness

Growth-Orientation

Fixed-Ability Orientation

Successful schools (3 level) have a psychology of success that pervades every aspect of the school.

A Psychology of Success (POS)


Jigsaw and Gallery Walk (See Directions) Promoting Growth Versus Fixed Ability Orientation (129-132) Sense of Belonging and Acceptance Within the Class (132-135) Promoting an Internal Locus of Control (135-137)

Promoting Growth Versus Fixed Ability Orientation (129-132)
Growth Ability Fixed Ability

Divide teachers into groups of 3-4. Teachers are assigned different sections to read:

Sense of Belonging and Acceptance Within the Class (132-135) Promoting an Internal Locus of Control (135-137)
External Locus of Control Internal Locus of Control

In groups, summarize section (gist statement 63 words) on chart paper and list characteristics of a classroom that possesses an internal locus of control, external locus of control, sense of belonging and acceptance, growth ability, and fixed ability.

A Psychology of Success (POS)


Gallery Walk Directions
Rotate around the library visiting each station. On the graphic organizer, add more characteristics to the display using post-its and list characteristics from display on to your graphic organizer. Rotation will occur every 5 minutes.

A Psychology of Success (POS) - Journal


1. Explain how your favorite teacher promoted a Psychology of Success (POS) and how your worst teacher promoted a Psychology of Failure (POF)? 2.Describe how you promote a sense of POS in your classroom.

Moving Up or Down the Continuum


Attitude Defined by:
Intentional Awareness Internal LOC

Accidental Unaware External LOC

Moving Up the Continuum


1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Clarity Consistency Pedagogy that supports your goals Basic Needs satisfying environment Social Bonds Teach and practice your management Psychology of Success Leader, not manager Community

Moving Down the Continuum


1. Relying on Bribes and Gimmicks (extra credit, candies, classroom dollars, etc.) 2. Incorporating negative strategies (disappointment, lectures, putdowns) 3. Punishment and pain-based logic (detention during lunch, do you want extra work, etc.) 4. Intermingling the personal and the performance (youre lazy so your failing, These students are lazy, its their parents fault, etc.) 5. Involving those that were not involved (calling parents, sending student to dean, etc.)

Self Evaluation Reflect on the strategies you use in your classroom and check the strategies that you use often in you classroom on the handout.

Steps for Improvement


Changes in practice that will get us the most positive outcomes for the least effort
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Stop trusting what has not worked Create Shared Expectations Promote consistent and effective technical management Develop social contracts and student ownership of rules Effectively working with the most challenging students Recognize connectedness (i.e., to instructional and assessment choices) 7. Assess Process/Investment systematically and deliberately
