“In a growth mindset, people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work—brains and talent are just the starting point. This view creates a love of learning and a resilience that is essential for great accomplishment." (Dweck) We encourage our students to think with a growth mindset and use the power of YET. "Yet" is a word that allows you to believe that anything is possible.
"I can't do this, YET"
"It didn't work, YET"
"It doesn't make sense, YET"
Please refer to these resources for more information on growth mindset.
