However, this approach misses a crucial element: the mindset behind these changes. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sfzpNVDzre0\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our underlying intentions powerfully shape how others experience our designs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The way we think about school, learning, and learners (both youth and adults) fundamentally impacts how our new practices are received. If our underlying beliefs remain the same, even new structures will fail to feel different to educators or learners, and behavior will stay the same. True transformation occurs when we shift not just what we do, but why and how we do it. By shifting our mindset, we can make even familiar practices feel dramatically different and more effective.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Key Mindset Shifts for Learner-Centered Environments<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are key shifts in mindset to embody as you design and create learner-centered environments.\u00a0 A core shift is moving from fear to trust.\u00a0 This mindset underpins the desire for greater learner agency, autonomy, and self-directedness. If we don\u2019t give learners the chance to try and potentially fail because we&#8217;re afraid,\u00a0 they will never learn that we trust them and that they can trust themselves. Ask yourself: \u201cIf I really trusted that my learner could do anything with enough time and support, how might I engage differently?\u00a0 What might shift in my practice?\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you embrace more learner-centered practices, you\u2019ll uncover more mindsets to shift. Below is a list of key mindset shifts I&#8217;ve identified, experienced, and continue to develop:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trust Over Fear or Doubt<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Empowering Over Controlling<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Engagement Over Compliance<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Curiosity Over Judgment<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Possibilities Over Constraints<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Humanity Over Efficiency<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8880 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/learnercentered.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Blog_Mindset-Shifts.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1145\" height=\"603\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some mindset shifts are more complex and can\u2019t be contained in just one word. Here are two that have been particularly impactful:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Supporting Who They Are Now Over Preparing Them for What Comes Later<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Encouraging Failure for Learning Over Preventing Failure for &#8220;Success&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>The Cycle of Mindset and Practice<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8881 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/learnercentered.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Mindset-Practice.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"223\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/learnercentered.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Mindset-Practice.png 682w, https:\/\/learnercentered.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Mindset-Practice-223x300.png 223w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 223px) 100vw, 223px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mindset and practice are linked closely together, influencing each other in a loop. Imagine you have a small intuition that something could be different in your classroom or school, prompting you to make a minor change in practice. When this change succeeds, it confirms your intuition, encouraging you to try another small change. <\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8882 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/learnercentered.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Mindset.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"203\" height=\"167\" srcset=\"https:\/\/learnercentered.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Mindset.png 848w, https:\/\/learnercentered.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Mindset-300x246.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 203px) 100vw, 203px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As this cycle continues, you gradually shift your mindset about what is possible for learners. You created a virtuous cycle of change, evolving into an upward spiral that catalyzes deeper and broader change in you and your learners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let&#8217;s apply this to developing learners&#8217; sense of agency through trust.\u00a0 As the school year kicks off, you decide to focus on cultivating trust over fear in yourself and your learners. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.embarkeducation.org\/blog\/2021\/2\/25\/when-educators-let-go-learners-take-charge\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a science project, <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">instead of providing all materials upfront, you give learners a budget (perhaps even actual cash) and support them in determining what they need. You allow them to purchase the supplies, maybe even walking to the local hardware store to sp<\/span>end the money themselves, to carry out the experiment.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_8902\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8902\" style=\"width: 872px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-8902\" src=\"https:\/\/learnercentered.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/EmbarkEducation-HRExport-30.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"872\" height=\"581\" srcset=\"https:\/\/learnercentered.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/EmbarkEducation-HRExport-30.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/learnercentered.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/EmbarkEducation-HRExport-30-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/learnercentered.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/EmbarkEducation-HRExport-30-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 872px) 100vw, 872px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8902\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Learners celebrate success in authentic learning experiences at Embark Education. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photo courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.embarkeducation.org\/\">Embark Education<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knowing that your goal is for them to feel trust, you continually ask yourself throughout this experience:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhat would trust feel like, right now?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHow is fear showing up for me, right now?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is your focus, even when you need to redirect your learners, which of course you will need to do. Look for signs of responsible and trustworthy behavior. After the experience, reflect on the ways they demonstrated trustworthiness and consider: &#8220;What&#8217;s the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">next<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> thing I can trust them to do?&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Mindset Shift in Adult Culture<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To cultivate a culture of agency for our learners, we must move away from a culture of compliance for adults. This means mindset shifts are just as crucial for leaders. One of the most important mindsets for systems change is understanding that the individual is the unit of change\u2013not the school, not the district. Systems don\u2019t change; they are constructs, not living breathing things. People change systems. Each person needs to feel something different to act differently\u2013 this is our work as leaders.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For adults, fostering agency through trust might involve giving a team of educators the opportunity to design a unit promoting learner autonomy (similar to the science experiment above). Provide them with the time, space, and resources needed to do the work. Then, affirm their efforts and say \u201cYes!\u201d to what they come up with, even if it\u2019s a baby step. As long as there is a clear \u201cwhy\u201d\u2013a clear learner-centered mindset that they are embodying when implementing this new practice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knowing that your goal is for them to feel trust, continually ask yourself:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What would trust feel like, right now?\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHow is fear showing up for me right now?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is your focus, even when you need to support them, which of course you will need to do. Look for moments when they embody the \u201cwhy\u201d and \u201chow\u201d of the practice they&#8217;re trying. During team debriefs, celebrate these moments and ask them about their next steps in continuing to embody the mindset that was their goal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Leaning into the Mindset Shift<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you create learner-centered ecosystems, context will determine which mindset shifts to consider at any given moment. As you explore the shifts we\u2019ve shared and what you uncover along the way, remember to identify not only what you\u2019re leaning into, but also what you\u2019re moving away from. We need to be clear about what we are resisting and letting go of from the current system so we can create something that truly <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">feels<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> different, catalyzing new ways of being and doing for ourselves and our learners.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Ready to shift mindsets and transform your school?<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/learnercentered.org\/connect\/\">Connect with us today<\/a> to explore how we can support your learner-centered journey.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When we introduce new structures or practices in education, we often focus solely on implementing them correctly.
