knowing what to do when you don't know what to do

what if this is all we focus on in school...

1. find it out (passion - who you want to be)

 

2. figure it out (how to get there, usefully ignorant)

3. gift it back.. pay it forward  (not really your passion unless you're dying to share it)

4. tribe it up - {brand/public/networking? - gathering people to do work that matters - that has civic value - growth is determined by how well your public is doing}

how could we tell if a student was learning? if they were growing?

what would be some check points, evidences..

what if the student logged a ton of why's

why did i do this, what was i thinking, why did that happen, what if..

wouldn't that in turn fine tune and validate hard work, effort, how to optimize setbacks, crave critique?

seems - how we approach/anticipate/work through mistakes/set backs is a better gauge than any

i'm thinking dweck's growth mindset - do students crave a challenge, do they seek value in a said failure.

{still not feeling resolve with #4 - but headed more toward a plan thanks to @noamkos and @mrsenorhill}
