Great thoughts, I appreciate you sharing them.<BR/><BR/>What you say also connects to Carol Dwecks work (I guess I can connect everything to her, see previous blog posts). You can choose how you want to view your reality with a fixed or a growth mindset.<BR/>-LizLiz B Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14855594085056447018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5396207241794796454.post-42541076006271974882007-11-20T14:12:00.000-05:002007-11-20T14:12:00.000-05:00Hi Elizabeth!

To me, this means that the <I>context</I> you give a situation or an idea directly influences how you react to it. <BR/><BR/>Example: A student failing a test can be devastating example of your failure to teach effectively <I>or</I> it could be an opportunity to learn what you can do better (<I>or</I> where the student was not engaged, etc). <BR/><BR/>You may choose one 'reality' as you approach the situation while the parents, students, and other teachers may each choose another. As you all interact with one another, you may shift your perspective or change your context. There is no guarantee that anyone will have the exact same context for the event, so there will always be a different 'reality' for everyone involved.<BR/><BR/> In this way, "Reality is created in the moment, and there are multiple realities."Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03956014872717331746noreply@blogger.com
