An awesome text! I liked it a lot since I have just started my teaching practicum, so it is important to take advices from other people who have experience, or from texts like this. It talks about 7 tips for novice teachers. The tips that I liked the most were "4. Use technology wisely", and "6. Use rubrics". I totally agree with these; technology can help the work of a teacher (they can use it for everything), but the big challenge is that a lot of people do not know much about how to use techonology appropriately, the majority of them only use it for social Networks. In addition, in relation to the rubrics, it is an useful way of grading; you can give feedback to your students easily, and you already have the aspects that you are going to grade. I invite you to read the other tips, they are interesting!

There are two types of mindsets we can cultivate: one that embraces problems as opportunities to learn and one that avoids them, often out of fear to fail. With a growth mindset, people believe that new abilities can be developed through practice; this view can create a love for learning.
