3 ology Curriculum Guide for Teachers : Overview GET SET: LAYING THE FOUNDATION BACK TO CONTENTS This section of the Guide covers the activities required to lay a solid foundation for a successful ology implementation. The material in the Get Ready! section should have provided a general overview of the goals, content, and operation of the program. The next step is to review what needs to happen and make detailed plans. I. Plan Your Implementation A well-known maxim holds that failing to plan is planning to fail. A little preparation goes a long way towards ensuring a successful implementation of ology. Identify and prepare the implementation team The critical first step is to identify who will be leading the implementation. If you are a teacher who has brought ology to your classroom on your own initiative, look in the mirror. If you are an administrator, an instructional coach, a counselor, or other educational leader who has brought ology to a group of classrooms, you need to decide whether or not you will be part of the day-to-day implementation. If not, identify who will be responsible for leadership, coaching, and coordination. Whoever is responsible for leading the implementation should start by sharing this guide with the rest of the team. We recommend spending some time with the team to review the process and plans and ensure that everyone is becoming well-prepared. If you're not leading the implementation, coordinate with whoever is to be sure you're fully aware of the schedule. Plan the implementation schedule The key features of a best-practices implementation of ology are these: The online units are presented at least a week apart. There is a roughly equal amount of supplementary reinforcement activity in the classroom. As a result, you should plan to spend at least twelve to fourteen classroom hours over at least six weeks on ology. There is considerable flexibility in the implementation process: With a little extra reinforcement along the way, the online units can be spaced two or even three weeks apart. Many of the classroom reinforcement activities can be spread out over two or three days if you prefer not to devote a complete period to them. The online ology units can be paused and resumed, so those can be split over a couple of days, too, if necessary. Some of the reinforcement activities can be assigned as homework, which allows more classroom time for reflection.

4 ology Curriculum Guide for Teachers : Overview There are a few practices that we recommend against: The online units are less effective if the students do not have some time between them to apply what they have learned and reflect on the results. We recommend against scheduling them more frequently than one per week. The online units are less effective if they are expected to stand alone. We recommend against omitting the classroom reinforcement activities and exercises. On the next few pages you will find the following: A planning calendar that you can use to schedule your ology implementation. Several sample schedules, including: A six-week implementation plan with 2 full class sessions per week devoted to ology. A six-week implementation with 1 full and 4 partial sessions per week spent on ology. A ten-week implementation with 1 full and 2 partial class sessions spent on ology. You should feel comfortable planning the schedule to coordinate with your own circumstances (length of class periods, holidays, testing schedules, availability of computer lab time, etc.). We strongly recommend that you take the time to plan specific dates for ology even if you expect to have to adjust them later.

10 ology Curriculum Guide for Teachers : Overview II. Familiarize Yourself with the Curriculum Ground yourself in Mindset theory While it is possible to spend a lifetime investigating the psychology of motivation and achievement, you don't have to in order to be very successful with ology. Some background in the theory is needed, however. If you have the time, the inclination, and the opportunity, we recommend that you read Dr. Dweck's book, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success. If this isn't the right moment for you to read the book, we suggest reading these three articles (which are all freely available on the internet): Even Geniuses Work Hard The Power (and Peril) of Praising Your Kids Boosting Achievement with Messages that Motivate If you have access to Scientific American, perhaps through a library, we also recommend The Secret to Raising Smart Kids. Review the program materials Explore the online units Every educator account includes full access to the online ology units. Take a little time during the preparation and planning phases of the implementation to explore them. If you can, review each unit completely before your students sit down at the computer for that unit. If you can't, we recommend that you at least become broadly familiar with the general operation of the online program and the characters your students will meet. There are complete directions for setting up your account and operating the online units later in the Technical Setup section of this Guide. Review the supplementary materials Take a little time now to review the details of the classroom activities and exercises listed in the Implementation Timeline. Note that some especially the pipe cleaner neuron require a little extra preparation and some supplies you may not have to hand. Many of the activities can be adapted to specific classroom situations adjusting language for students whose language skills are more or less advanced, for example with a little advance effort. Trust your judgment on the adjustments appropriate for your classroom. As you prepare for each ology session, review the supplementary materials more closely. The Go! section of this guide will help focus you on what you need at each step.

11 ology Curriculum Guide for Teachers : Overview III. Build a Growth Mindset Culture Focus on leading your students' change There's a lot you can do every day, in every interaction with your students, to reinforce the growth mindsets they are developing. For example, the type of praise (or criticism) a student receives profoundly influences his or her mindset. Research has shown that praising students for their intelligence after they succeed on a task can set them up to hold a fixed mindset. They seek to protect themselves by avoiding challenge; and when they do encounter failure, their motivation and performance plummet. On the other hand, when students are praised for their effort and strategy, they get excited about challenges and stay resilient in the face of failure. So it is important that you reinforce the growth mindset with process praise. How? Here's an excerpt from an article Prof. Dweck wrote for Educational Leadership: Praising students for their intelligence, then, hands them not motivation and resilience but a fixed mind-set with all its vulnerability. In contrast, effort or process praise (praise for engagement, perseverance, strategies, improvement, and the like) fosters hardy motivation. It tells students what they've done to be successful and what they need to do to be successful again in the future. Process praise sounds like this: You really studied for your English test, and your improvement shows it. You read the material over several times, outlined it, and tested yourself on it. That really worked! I like the way you tried all kinds of strategies on that math problem until you finally got it. It was a long, hard assignment, but you stuck to it and got it done. You stayed at your desk, kept up your concentration, and kept working. That's great! I like that you took on that challenging project for your science class. It will take a lot of work doing the research, designing the machine, buying the parts, and building it. You're going to learn a lot of great things. What about a student who gets an A without trying? I would say, All right, that was too easy for you. Let's do something more challenging that you can learn from. We don't want to make something done quickly and easily the basis for our admiration. What about a student who works hard and doesn't do well? I would say, I liked the effort you put in. Let's work together some more and figure out what you don't understand. Process praise keeps students focused, not on something called ability that they may or may not have and that magically creates success or failure, but on processes they can all engage in to learn. Carol Dweck, 2007 In addition, keeping a consistent and visible growth mindset orientation in your classroom can be a key component of reinforcing what your students learn in the ology program. Here are a few more suggestions for integrating ology terminology and activities into your classroom: Did your students make pipe cleaner neurons (in unit 2)? Hang them from the ceiling! (The pipe cleaner neurons, not the students...) Are your students losing focus on the lesson? Ask them if they are "using all their channels"! (unit 1) Are your students struggling with a difficult challenge? Remind them that their neurons are growing most when things seem most difficult. (unit 3) Do your students have projects to complete? Have them use the ology Study Guide and Study Plan! (unit 4)

12 ology Curriculum Guide for Teachers : Overview Recruit allies To help your students maintain a growth mindset when they leave your classroom, consider reaching out to others who have influence over your students' mindsets and encouraging them to reinforce the growth mindset. Other teachers in your school. Particularly if your students have different teachers for different subjects, feel free to share the ology materials with those other teachers, and encourage them to contact Mindset Works for free educator access to the program. Coaches. Many great athletes are strongly growth-minded. Prof. Dweck is a member of the National Advisory Board of the Positive Coaching Alliance. Administrators, Deans, and others. Growth mindset discipline sees bad behavior, not bad kids. Parents. Share links to articles about mindsets and the "2 Mindsets" diagram. Include mindset in parent education materials, bring it up at your PTA, and discuss it on back-to-school night. IV. Technical Setup - Interacting with the ology website The ology curriculum is centered on the online instructional units for students. These units include animated instruction, interactive activities, and integrated reflection in individual journals. As a teacher, you have visibility into your students' progress and interaction with the online curriculum. You also have access to administrative tools to manage student accounts (and your own). This section provides step-bystep instructions for those interactions with the website, organized approximately in the order you will need them as you proceed through your implementation. Creating and managing your own (educator) username and password Joining a school account If you don t already have a username and password, and your school has already purchased ology, your local administrator has an Educator Registration Code that you will need to register. If you're having any difficulty identifying your local administrator or any uncertainty about the Educator Registration Code, feel free to contact ology support at support@brainology.us or Once you have the Educator Registration Code, follow these steps: Go to the ology website homepage, Click on the words Sign Up near the upper right corner of the page. In the left hand column of the Sign Up page, under the heading Already have a registration code?, enter your Educator Registration Code, select the I am an educator option, and click the Sign Up! button. On the Educator Registration page: select a username and password, enter your personal details, review, and check the box to indicate you have reviewed, the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, and click the Sign Up! button. You now have full access to the online ology units, the supporting materials, and the rest of the administrative controls.

14 ology Curriculum Guide for Teachers : Overview Creating and managing student groups and codes The ology administrative system organizes students by groups. Typically, a teacher will create one group for each class of students with which he or she is working on ology. Students create their own ology login usernames and passwords using a code created and supplied by the teacher that is associated with the group they are in. Create your student group(s) and code(s) To create student groups and their associated student registration codes, follow these steps (note that there is no procedural difference between your first group and additional groups): 1. Go to the ology website homepage, 2. Click on Log In at the upper right corner of the page. 3. In the left hand column of the Log In page, under the heading Already a User?, enter your ology login username and password and click on the Log In button. 4.
