Mindset Matters

As a school we have adapted the Growth Mindset Model.  the model showcases the fixed vs the growth mindset. In a nutshell, people with a fixed mindset believe that you are born with a fixed set of skills, talent, and potential. That it’s genetic. These are the people who say things like “my mom was bad at math so I am too.” UGH! People with a growth mindset understand that with practice and perseverance, anything is achievable and our brain learns new things.

I decided to post a board in my classroom full of the fixed vs growth mindset messages to remind me of how I can positively influence my students with my words. I found many different boards on Pinterest (I certainly wasn’t going to make up my own) and settled this one.

I mean if this board doesn’t show my Type-B teaching, idk what does. Ripped boarder…
