The Growth Mindset Toolkit

Growth Mindset--it's an education buzzword, but do you really know what all the hype is about? I set out to answer this very question, and now I have created this website to help you do the same! This website is a compilation of everything you need to know about Growth Mindset--what it is, why it's important, and how to get started. It features the latest and greatest research and resources designed to help you understand the value of a growth mindset [GMS] and how to utilize it as an educator, or parent. This toolkit provides educators with the tools and strategies necessary to easily implement GMS best practices into their classrooms. Parents are provided with tools that can support their child's journey to developing a positive GMS both at home, and in the classroom.
