Students using the growth zone model

I have had a lovely message from a teacher who uses the growth zone model.

She writes:

One of my students, when describing how they felt in the green zone, said: 'Proud because I know I can do it well'. Another, on the AS, said: 'I go straight from green to red because my orange circle is very narrow'. I love how this model gives students a meaningful metaphor and language to discuss their feelings.

It seems to me a significant part of the process that the students learn to recognise when they have a very narrow growth zone, and subsequently learn to grow it.
