Growth Mindset

At its most basic level, this is the belief that…

  • Our brains can change and grow.
  • Intelligence and ability can be increased through learning and practice.
  • Mistakes and failures are opportunities to learn.

These beliefs help students be more resilient and willing to try new things. They understand that when they struggle, they are growing. They become more willing and capable learners, and they believe more in their abilities.

Be a brave learner! 
I feel proud when I work hard!      When I struggle, I grow!      I control the choices I make! 

A great resource to help with mental health!
