Driving Question: In what ways can practicing a growth mindset change my own learning, and how can I share those benefits with my community?
Overview: In this project, we will explore the power of having a growth mindset—the belief that we can improve our abilities through effort, strategies, and learning from mistakes. You will learn how a growth mindset can help you overcome challenges in your own life, and you will create a podcast to teach others about its benefits. By the end of the project, you will not only strengthen your own mindset, but also inspire your classmates, school, and community to embrace the power of “yet.”
