Growth Mindset

Growth mindset might be a new concept to you. However, if you embrace it quickly and use it often, it will make a huge difference in your life!

“Research has shown that when students have a growth mindset, they are more likely to challenge themselves, believe that they can achieve more, and become stronger, more resilient and creative problem solvers. Educators can have an enormous impact on the mindset of their students.”[1]

As you read these next few chapters, give growth mindset a try.
