A person with a growth mindset sees challenges as opportunities. For educators, there can be a hurricane of challenges both in and outside of the classroom that demand your attention away from the teaching and learning cycle.
The solution is learning how to: (GIANTS)
Get
Involved—with the problem/issue/concern
And
Not
Take
Sides—with one emotion (high or low) for too long (GIANTS)
The Hurricane-GIANTS concept is built around the symbol of educational triangles—teaching you how to accept the stressors, embrace the emotions around them (negative or positive) and reframe your attitude for the better—where you no longer ruminate about the noun trigger (person, place or thing).
