Growth Mindset
What is Growth Mindset??
OMS is making a real push to have students and teachers use the growth mindset approach at all times during the day. We asked a few students and teachers how they would define growth mindset. Here is what we heard...
Student Perspective: I think that growth mindset is challenging yourself to get better by practicing and have a positive mindset. It's also about helping others on your team or even people you do not know.
Student Perspective: Try hard, work hard, don't give up, understand that you aren't perfect, get up when you fall.
Teacher Perspective: Growth mindset to me is the ability to continue to persevere even if you are struggling. It is a belief that is almost more important than how much you know. Growth mindset tells us to try new things and continue to develop our skills whether we are working in an area that is a relative strength or weakness. We are always trying to improve and get better.
Teacher Perspective: In my classroom, I use growth mindset as a way to make sure everyone knows that it is okay to be working from your comfort level as long as you are trying to improve. Every student has different strengths and weaknesses and it is important to celebrate those in the name of hard work, effort, and determination.
