“I Wonder” and OOPS!

What does it feel like when we have the "I Wonder" Mindset?

•      We feel curious, ready to explore and notice interesting details.

•      We are open-minded and flexible, willing to try new things.

•      If there's ambiguity or confusion, we can grapple with it like a tricky puzzle.

•      We find joy in the journey, not the destination; the process not the product.

•      We aren't worried about screwing up or being wrong, we know it's not a big deal.

•      We aren't afraid to fail.

OOPS! is a mnemonic for four big ideas for teaching kids. If you can just remember OOPS! then that's all you need to guide your child's learning.

The meaning of OOPS! is:

•      O = Ownership

•      OP = Opportunity to Practice

•      S = Support

•      "Oops!" = A reminder that it's okay to fail
