Growth
Mindset

For us to succeed within and beyond their schooling career, we require a certain set of social and emotional skills to support our journey. Social and emotional skills can be described as the ability to regulate one’s thoughts, emotions and behaviour, and may include characteristics such as grit, perseverance, self-affirmation, self-efficacy, aspirations and growth mindset.

While the schooling system tries to support learners to develop such skills, the syllabus does not directly incorporate enough socio-emotional learning into the curriculum.

The current programme attempts to equip learners with the skills needed to develop a growth mindset. Growth mindset can be described as a belief that one’s intelligence grows with considerable effort. Across the world, a variety of interventions in business, sport and schools have been successfully implemented to teach growth mindset. Collectively, the results of the interventions have found that growth mindset can indeed be taught, and that an improved growth mindset is linked to improved outcomes.

Learn more about a growth mindset by completing each session in order. Don't rush through the videos, as there are some lessons and mind shifts that need to be internalised between sessions.
