Five of these districts, operating under a U.S. Department of Education waiver, began
collecting measures of growth mindset, among other socio - emotional skills, for all of the students between 3rd and 11th grade, through surveys.
That is, we compare students with the same demographic characteristics, the same test scores in the current year and in a previous year, the same responses to the surveys for other social - emotional
measures collected by the district, and within the same school and grade, to see whether students who look the same on all
of these
measures but have a stronger
growth mindset learn more over the course
of the following year.
It would be cool to see a wide collection
of maps covering many different issues, not just climate and food production, but, for instance, poverty and wealth, arms production and war, clothing production and leisure time, education levels, consumption, production, health, population
growth and decline, movement
of immigrants, human rights, animal populations, housing ownership, housing starts, anything basically which can be
measured in a visual map... not just for the US but as global maps,
collected on pages where you could drag them around to sit on top
of each other and try and make sense
of the various impacts...
