Developing a Growth Mindset Community is critical in helping students achieve their highest potential. These growth mindset notes will help you promote a positive classroom environment where students are praised for effort and feel comfortable taking academic risks.
The materials I've included are research based ideas on how to motivate and encourage your students to have a growth mindset. And now when you want to praise them, you can use these ready-to-go cards! Share them with the child and make sure they send them home so that parents know how their child is cultivating a growth mindset, as well.
I've selected 4 important areas of having a growth mindset and created cards to match them. The areas are:
✏ Effort:Praising students for their effort instead of their achievement.
✏ Brain: Understand how the brain works and how it helps them to be successful.
✏ Challenges & Goals: Accepting that not everything is easy and that challenges are the best way to learn.
✏ Celebrating Approximations: They don't have to get everything "right" the first time, small steps towards a goal are important.
I want you to be successful in helping your students have a growth mindset. I've included:
✓ Research about Growth Mindset (and Fixed Mindset)
✓ Creating A Growth Mindset Learning Environment
✓ Growth Mindset Anchor Charts
✓ Brief Explanations for each Growth Mindset area
✓ Growth Mindset Teaching Tips
There are 40 unique messages about having a growth mindset!
Each message has 4 cards, 2 girls and 2 boys, for a total of 160 cards!
Examples are:
✩ I chose not to give up!
✩ Your ideas matter. Thanks for sharing.
✩ My effort is my path to success!
