What is a Growth Mindset?

• Knowing ALL students can learn at high levels.
• Believing your students that have never been proficient, can become proficient if and when the right supports are in place.
• Understanding that you, an educator, can learn a new skill, strategy, or tool.
• Trusting that although you can’t or don’t know how to do something now, it’s not the end of the story.
• Welcoming persistent effort and practice leads to improvement.
• Embracing mistakes and using them as feedback for how to do better next time.
• Knowing that you have the power to do anything; there are no limits.
