In this video, I acknowledge how challenging the students immigrant experience is in NYC as a college student. I encourage them to seek me out for any type of support throughout the semester and reinforce “there are no stupid questions!!”.…[Read more]

This seems like a very concrete tool that can give them ownership over their learning.

I encourage both parties to examine negative self-talk and negative messaging that contributes to this fixed mindset that can be very discouraging and unmotivating. Acknowleging where they are coming from and what…[Read more]

I did not find it discouraging, but as a learning opportunity to improve. If anything it would encourage me to try harder given the feedback I had to work with. I was able to incorporate the criticism into self-awareness and…[Read more]

Educators who present with an “I am always right” mentality may hinder students’ opportunities to share in the classroom if they are questioning or in oppostition to the Eductor.
