  1. How to prepare the child for the path, not the path for the child

  2. GritIt’s not just one more thing.It’s a part of everything! Created by: Mandy Benedix

  4. Angela Duckworth: The Key to Success? Grit

  5. Steps to Success My Goal Tenacity Integrity Resiliency Gumption Mindset = the foundation

  6. Creating a Growth Mindset in Ourselves and in our Students It matters not whatsomeone is born, but what they grow to be. -Albus Dumbledore

  7. Mindsets Fixed Mindset –The belief that you are born with a certain amount of intelligence or potential and that it can’t change. Growth Mindset – The belief that we can work hard, ask for help and try a different strategy to increase our intelligence and potential.

  8. Changing Mindsets with our praise Praiseeffort. Not talent Don’t’ say: “You are an amazing artist!” Instead say: “You obviously worked very hard to learn the skills it takes to draw a picture like this!” Don’t say: “You are so smart!” Instead say: “You have worked so hard and your hard work is showing up in your work!” Saying someone is smart when they get an answer right, sends the message to some that they then must be dumb when they get an answer wrong. They begin to attribute their success to their talent (which we don’t control) instead of on their effort (which we do control.) Created by: Mandy Benedix

  9. Fixed Mindset

  10. Changing Mindsets with the word “Yet” The Power of the word, Yet! Adding this small word at the end of students’ statements can begin to change their mindsets from fixed to growth. Student says: “I’m not good at math!” You say: “Yet” Student says: “I don’t like reading!” You say: “Not yet.” This small word leaves the window open for change. YET = HOPE Created by: Mandy Benedix

  11. Changing Mindsets by teaching about the brain and how we learn The Basics : Neurons in the brain make new connections when you learn something new. These connections become stronger with practice and effort. You aren’t born with all of these connections! Created by: Mandy Benedix

  12. My Growth Mindset Promise Help students reflect on how they can grow these neuron connections in their brain. Students need to know that they are the true “architects” of their brain. This simple activity helps them identify things that they can do to grow their intelligence.
