“Finnish teachers pick books and customize lessons as they shape students to national standards… ‘. In Finland, the teachers are the entrepreneurs," says Mr. Schleicher, of the Paris-based OECD, which began the international student test in 2000.’

Teacherpreneur Mindset #1
15 minutes2-3 times a week
FIXED MINDSETA belief that you are what you are right now and can never improve or change.
GROWTH MINDSETA belief that you can grow, improve, and learn
Goal Setting Tip #1:
Accurately assess your
strengths and weaknesses
““If, like those with the growth mindset, you believe you can develop yourself, then you're open to accurate informationabout your current abilities, even if it's unflattering. What's more, if you're oriented toward learning, as they are, you need accurate information about your current abilities in order to learn effectively.”
Carol Dweck, Mindset

Study of Expectations• 20% of students in the student were said to have “unusual potential for
intellectual growth”
• Three teachers selected were told they were selected because they were the best in the school

Guess what?
• The selections were RANDOM.• Students were a mix of good/bad/ medium.
• So were teachers!
