GROWTH MINDSET
FIXED MINDSET▶ Students thrive when things are safe
and within their grasp▶ Anything that they perceive they
will fail at, they will cross their arms and refuse.
▶ If things are too challenging when they are not feeling smart or talented-they lose interest.
GROWTH MINDSET▶ A belief that intelligence is not fixed
and be developed ▶ True potential is unknown▶ Stretching themselves, learning and
growing as a person▶ Thrive on challenge▶ Growth Mindset is a strong predictor
of achievement▶ Use the opportunity to see mistakes
as an exciting part of our learning▶ Focus in growth mindset
