Many in our field work with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) who aren’t familiar with the body of knowledge associated with learning. Yet these same people are often responsible for providing us with course content and may be decision-makers when it comes to course design.

I chose this resource because I recently read the book "Why Students Don't Like School" by Willingham. Many of our students, and the adults who serve them, seem to accept the idea that traits such as intelligence, are a fixed entity. However, in other countries, intelligence is a quality that is approached as something that can grow and develop through effort. For the classroom practitioner, it is important to exude the idea that growth can occur if the individual attends to it. Assignments and assessments are a way to gauge comprehension to see if additional effort is needed to understand a concept. We should't just seek deficiencies, we should promote working towards proficiency when performance isn't adequate. We must foster a growth mindset.
