Your+Academic+Mindset

As a student in one of my classes, I expect you to embrace a sense of belonging to an academic community of management and entrepreneurship.
This expectation is based on one of the six principles of deeper learning, which is an "umbrella term" for the skills and knowledge students must gain to be successful in 21st century jobs and society.

//I belong in this academic community://

 * Students feel a strong sense of belonging within a community of learners and value intellectual engagement with others.
 * Students understand learning as a social process and actively learn from one another and support each other in pursuit of learning goals.
 * Students readily engage in the construction of meaning and understanding through interaction with peers.

//I can succeed at this://

 * Students trust in their own capacity and competence and feel a strong sense of efficacy at a variety of academic tasks.
 * Students see themselves as academic achievers and expect to succeed in their learning pursuits.

//My ability and competence grow with my effort://

 * Students believe that hard work will pay off in increased knowledge and skills.
 * Students are motivated to put in the time and effort needed to build a solid knowledge base and to accomplish important goals.

//This work has value for me://

 * Students perceive the inherent value of content knowledge and of learning and developing skills.
 * Students see the relevance of school work to their lives and interests.
 * Students understand how work they do now will benefit them in the future.
 * Students know that future learning will build upon what they know and learn today.
