This session will offer perspectives on leveraging the Cultures of Thinking (CoT) Mindsets to inform instructional planning and organizational culture. Drawing upon ten years of experience at Mandela International Magnet School in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Principal Randy Grillo will engage participants in an analysis of street data and student work that illustrates how teachers are using CoT Mindsets to guide their instructional decisions. Participants will explore practical ideas for using these mindsets not just as a vision, but as an ongoing tool to illuminate next steps, drive professional growth, and shape a responsive and reflective learning environment.
