Weekly Update, Monday 1 February, 2016

Dear colleagues,
The ES Leadership Team has been reading report card comments this weekend and teachers have been receiving feedback and corrections, and we will work hard to ensure that you all receive feedback by Tuesday the latest. We are asking your final effort and cooperation to get them corrected and finalized by Wednesday. We need a couple of days for uploading the report cards to the PowerSchool for parents by Friday. This time, the report cards are initially provided digitally. Should parents want a printed version of the report card, they can approach the ES office from the 15th of February onwards. We are all ready to move on to the next semester with full force now. We wish you an inspiring and energetic week ahead.

False Growth Mindset (Carol Dweck)
In the wake of the many exciting research results, educators became increasingly interested in promoting a growth mindset among their students. This was extremely gratifying. To see some of the great successes was even more gratifying. However, I slowly became aware that not all educators understood the concept fully.”
