Digital Extension and Enrichment Resources
The Gift of Positivity and How to Activate Growth Mindset
Khan Academy
We have used Khan Academy's amazing resources for all sorts of subject matter extensions, but did you know they have activities for students on developing a growth mindset as well? These resources are broken up into elementary/middle school and high school to capture different abilities/difficulties across grade levels
Accidental Inventions
Famous Failures
In addition to Accidental Inventions, an equally inspiring journey for students is to research Famous Failures. These are individuals that overcame many obstacles in life to ultimately achieve greatness. (The list in the link above may surprise you...think Albert Einstein, Abraham Lincoln, Elvis Presley, Walt Disney, Michael Jordan, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Steven Spielberg and even J.K. Rowling, just to name a few.)
