"If parents want to give their children a gift, the best thing they can do is to teach their children to love challenges, be intrigued by mistakes, enjoy effort, and keep on learning. That way, their children don’t have to be slaves of praise. They will have a lifelong way to build and repair their own confidence."
– Carol Dweck
Here is a fantastic article I've found from UC Berkeley which highlights the practices I use in the classroom with the students. Using a Growth Mindset in and out of the classroom is a strong developmental tool for all students to be accustomed to. We acknowledge mistakes in our class and then discuss and discover other approaches to reaching our goals.
