However, healthcare leaders should view these experiences as learning opportunities rather than as signs of incompetence or inadequacy. View Failures as Learning Opportunitiesįailures and setbacks are inevitable in any field, including healthcare. They should also encourage their teams to do the same. Therefore, healthcare leaders should seek opportunities to expand their knowledge and skills through training, mentorship, and professional development programs. When you have a growth mindset, you believe that humans constantly adapt and evolve and can become more innovative and skilled by putting in the work.īelow are five techniques for developing a growth mindset in healthcare leadership: Embrace Learning OpportunitiesĮmbracing learning opportunities boosts your abilities, inspires new ideas, and makes you a more confident professional.

I put all of mine on one wall in the classroom, but if space does not allow you to do that, I think you could spread these all over the room (as long as students know where to look for each word!) An un-laminated version may be better for some rooms. I laminated mine however, that does make the pieces “glare” a bit with the light in the classroom, so students sometimes had to get up and walk to the word wall to see a word. The pieces were traced onto construction paper and I used a thick black marker to write the words. Each petal is about the size of a half sheet of copy paper. This took quite a few hours to make, but was definitely worth it for me! It’s a great summer project! To make it, I simply made one circle tracer and one petal tracer. The next year, I involved the students in looking through an electronic thesaurus for synonyms and gradually put the flowers up (as most word walls are supposed to be done!), which of course was the better method. This proved very ineffective, as they thought it was cool, but barely glanced at it during the writing process (like I had hoped they would!) The first year that I used it, I was so excited about it that I had it all put up in my classroom during the summer before my grade 4 students even arrived. I definitely went through some trial and error with this word wall. On the petals I wrote exciting alternatives to the dull words. Usually the dull words are the ones that are overused in students’ writing, such as “good,” “nice,” etc. In the middle of each flower is what I call a “dull” word. I must admit, I love pretty things in my classroom, and that includes my word wall! I decided on this alternative to a word wall after trying to think of a way to display commonly misspelled words along with exciting alternatives for “dull” words.
