EDUT 5153 Reimagining Your Teacher Mindset

Reimagining Your Teacher Mindset

Have you ever wondered why some teachers are eternally positive, while others are dragged down by the challenges of the profession? Discover the secret in this fresh and actionable course about the power of perception! With Angela Watson’s new edition of Awakened, learn to transform your experience at school by shifting your mindset. Understand your current thought patterns, and recognize and let go of unwanted thoughts with 4 simple steps. Pursue purposeful thinking by reframing the stories you’re telling yourself into narratives that are truthful and productive. Retrain your brain to seek evidence, avoid confirmation bias, and manage stress with positive tools. By releasing yourself from unrealistic standards and the need for control, you’ll develop healthier mindsets that enable you to accept setbacks with grace, and increase agency over what you can control–your own thoughts. Throughout the course, you’ll have opportunities to practice each strategy, so you’ll emerge fluent in the self-talk of an awakened educator!
