Weekly Staff Letter
August 27th - August 31th
Every Kid Needs a Champion
Relationships and the 4 Learning Mindsets (We can learn something from Rita Pierson!)
The four learning mindsets draw from research on human motivation and basic psychological needs:
1. I belong in this learning community.
2. I can succeed.
3. I can change my abilities through effort
4. This work has value and purpose for me
Are the learning mindsets just something we hang on our walls... OR are they something we actively embed into our lessons?
