GrowthMindset 2016

This morning we started our conversation about 

GROWTH MINDSET

The whiteboard tables come in handy for those kids who like to 'draw' as we are discussing! I kinda liked this:)


I put the question on the board...

What do you already know about Growth Mindset?

Mostly my kids from last year all ran to the board to add their 'bits' - mostly quotes which have resonated with them. I was pretty happy that this learning had not been forgotten!


After some discussion which got onto those horrible 'fixed mindset' statements which all of us hear every now and then... I set the kids off to look up some Growth Mindset quotes and to pick one which really means something to them. So we are using pixteller.com to create a poster.

Here are the first ones in...

  1. Great to see the 'growth mindset' is embedded in your kids from last year. I am sure that language will rub off on your newbies also.

  2. Love that the kids were given the opportunity to find a quote that resonated with them and they could share this with others. Nice :-)
