Fixed Mindset vs. Growth Mindset...We are encouraging each of our students to use the language of an individual with a growth mindset. We are teaching students it is important to ask for help and try different strategies. We also want students to understand that hard work and perseverance will lead to success. We are praising our students for the effort they put into their work. Take a look at some common phrases below that we are trying to change...
Instead of saying... Try saying...
"I can't do math." "I'm going to train my brain in math."
"This is too hard. "I'll stretch my thinking."
"This is easy!" "I'm on the right track!"
"I'll never be as "I'm going to figure out what
smart as him/her." he/she does and try it."
"I give up." "This may take some time and effort."
"I made a mistake." "Mistakes help me improve."
