"If we explicitly teach students self-regulated learning strategies and model the values that contribute to a strong school community, then students will develop improved literacy skills and a deeper understanding of their role as contributing members of the school environment."
Although people may differ in every which way in their initial talents and aptitudes, interests, or temperments, everyone can change and grow through application and experience. The passion for stretching yourself and sticking to it, even (or especially) when it's not going well, is the hallmark of the growth mindset.

It's all about being open to new learning and taking informed action
