teacherpreneurship?
What are 3 essential mindsets of
successful teacherpreneurs?
5. “…you can’t just drop new
innovations into a classroom
and hope that the instructor
will invent effective ways to
use them. To fully utilize a
new teaching technology, you
often need to invent new
teaching practices as well.”

“Finnish teachers pick books and customize lessons as they
shape students to national standards… ‘. In Finland, the

47. 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 information
about 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
48. YOU MUST MASTER
YOUR OWN MIND
FIRST
