PREPARE LESSON

Affirmation: Today and every day, I choose to learn and grow. Learning is my superpower!

Ask students:

• What does it mean to GROW?

Growth means to develop, change, mature, and evolve. Living things grow – plants, animals, and people.

• When you think of the brain or minds, what do you think MINDSET means?

Mindset is the way our brain perceives ourselves and the world. Our mindset helps us look at problems and mistakes in a positive way!

EXPLORE LESSON

Dr. Carol Dweck, a professor of psychology at Stanford University, has identified two types of mindsets at her research that started over 30 years ago.

Growth mindset is the belief that intelligence improves through study and practice. It is believing in the power of yourself! So a growth mindset is when we know, with practice, we will get better at something.

Fixed mindset is the belief either you are born intelligent or not. It is when you think you can’t get better at things, even if you practice.
