Brace yourself for yet another round of the mindset debate. Fortunately, Yan and Schuetze have a new and nuanced take on it, which is well worth reading. Learn more about it on my free (as in Free Willy) Substack!

Should we be teaching growth mindsets or not?

Veronica Yan and Brendan Schuetze have a terrific take on this question, modeling the way scholarly discourse should happen.

I'm excited to share that I've been awarded an NSF CAREER grant. This means that over the next 5 years, I'm really going to be able to dive deep and focus on motivating effective strategies to transform student learning.

Also, I'm recruiting for new PhD students, so please share with any potential students who are interested in bridging cognitive, metacognitive, and socio-motivational processes to enhance learning!

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it a thousand times: Encouraging kids to be who they are is suicide prevention.

Incentives for academics have become increasingly perverse over the last 50 years, according to this 2017 article by Edwards and Roy

KEEP IN MIND! #Mastodon doesn't work like #Twitter!

Have you just made the #Twexit or the #TwitterMigration?

Favorites ⭐ - they're not "likes". They don't "elevate" posts, they just the poster know you liked their post.

Boosts 🔁 - these push someone's post into your friends feeds (and help discovery).

So if you ⭐ my posts, that's great (and I love you too)!

But if you 🔁 posts, then more people see them!

OH! - #Hashtags are how you search!

I will be recruiting doctoral students into my Science of #Learning and #Metacognition Lab at #UTAustin for the next academic year! I accept students through the #EducationalPsychology department (not #psychology dept)

I study strategies that promote better long-term learning, and the metacognitive and motivational processes that support these strategies. I run a joint lab meeting with Dr. Katherine Muenks, who is an expert in #motivation.

Please share :)
