GROWTH MINDSETWhat is a growth mindset?
People with a fixed mindset believe that a person has a certain amount of talent and intelligence in any given area and cannot be changed. People with a growth mindset believe talents and abilities can be developed with effort, learning, and dedication. Scientists have proven that our brain acts like a muscle - the more we use it, the stronger (and smarter) our brains become.

DEVELOPING A GROWTH MINDSET
Instead of…. Try Thinking….
I’m not good at this What am I missing?

I can’t make this any better I can always improve
This is too hard This may take some time
I made a mistake Mistakes help me to learn
I just can’t do this I am going to train my brain
I’ll never be that smart I will learn how to do this
Plan A didn’t work There is always Plan B
My friend can do it I will learn from them
