The day will feature two main components:
Benefits of a Growth Mindset in School Leadership
Based on insights from two Erasmus+ projects (MindSetGO and Mindsetgo 2.0) , this session will explore how school leaders can foster a culture of effort, resilience, and continuous improvement among staff and students.
