What is a growth mindset? Why is it so important for elementary students?
Growth mindset is something we value highly in our class! We reframe our language and thinking to help us achieve the things we may not have thought we could do- and so much more! Growth mindset and fixed mindset are terms coined by psychologist, Dr. Carol Dweck. You can read more about her research and theory of mindset in the book, "Mindset: The New Psychology For Success."
