Learning Objective: To understand how negative mindsets can be passed from teacher to learner This game is for teacher trainees, or for teachers taking part in CPD. It can also be used for assessors, teaching assistants and classroom volunteers. The aim of the game is to get people to reflect on their own experiences in learning and consider how their attitudes to learning can impact upon their teaching style. Negative 'teacher cliches' are highlighted and the negative impacts of these are discussed in the 'discussion points' handout, alongside suggested alternative phrases which foster a more positive learning environment. The resource was designed specifically to look at negative attitudes towards mathematics, but could be adapted for any subject area if you know any alternative teacher cliches from your own department!
