The Power of YET

Each time they enter the Enrichment room students are reminded to use a growth mindset and their Power of YET! Students learn that a growth mindset means believing that you can get better at things by trying hard, learning, and not giving up. People with a growth mindset aren't afraid of mistakes—they know it's how we learn. A fixed mindset is when someone thinks they are either good or bad at something and that they can't change it. People with a fixed mindset might stop trying if something feels too hard. The big difference is that a growth mindset helps you keep going and believe you can improve! 

Students learn that The Power of YET means that even if you can’t do something right now, it just means you just can't do it....YET! Maybe you can’t tie your shoes, ride a bike, or solve a tricky math problem.....yet. Saying “I can’t do it yet” reminds students that they are still learning, and with practice, they can get better.  The Power of YET helps students believe in themselves and keep trying, even when things are hard!
