As we return back to school this year we will be working on Social Emotional Learning with the students. We will be targeting Growth Mindset with our scholars to help change their mindsets.

Learning mindsets are a set of beliefs that are linked to increased academic performance in students. There are three main learning mindsets we commonly reference: growth mindset, belonging, and purpose & relevance. Each has its own unique characteristics and is based on years of research.

Growth Mindset

Students are more likely to persist through challenges when they understand that intelligence is malleable, rather than a fixed trait.

Belonging Mindset

Students who have a strong sense of belonging in their environment are more likely to succeed and persist through challenges.

Purpose & Relevance

When students believe that schoolwork has a purpose and relates to their life outside of school, they are more eager to learn.
