Growth Mindset Video
Does Your Brain Grow?
I encourage you to share this video with your students. It's less than 3 minutes. It clearly explains the Growth Mindset and challenges our students to train their brain like training muscles or exercise. As educators we should have "Growth Mindset" because after all, teaching is about empowering. Do we model Growth Mindset for our students? Do you believe learning and improving is truly ongoing? What actions do students see in you that would be a reflection of a "Growth Mindset" teacher?
