Helping Kids Leverage the Power of a Growth Mindset
Event Information
About this event
What if our students believed that they could learn anything?
When students believe that even if they don't know something, they just aren't there "yet", they're more likely to put in effort, take on a challenge, learn from mistakes, and be open to feedback.
This type of mindset, knowns as a "growth mindset", has been proven to drive both motivation and higher achievement.
More and more teachers and school administrators are embracing a growth mindset as a strategy to bolster student motivation, and these same strategies can be used at home with great results.
Summer is a great time to help our children become believers in the "Power of Yet" - a key attribute of a growth mindset. Please join us for a strategy-packed webinar:
