    content: Growth mindset
    Let's start the
    lesson!
    A GROWTH MINDSET

    How do you process failure, challenges, and bumps in


    the road? Does it feel like the end of the world, or does it
    inspire you to rise to the challenge?

    Believe in your ability to improve through effort, learning,


    persistence, and support. Approach each experience with a sense of
    curiosity: 'What can I learn from this?' When you view obstacles as
    opportunities to grow, you are embodying a 'growth mindset'.
    Assess your mindset by asking yourself these
    questions:

    How do you approach challenges and setbacks – as


    1
    opportunities for growth or as roadblocks?

    Do you believe in the potential to develop your abilities and


    2
    intelligence through effort and learning?
    A FIXED MINDSET

    This approach is the opposite of a growth mindset. It


    refers to a way of looking at life where people view
    qualities as fixed traits that cannot change.

    A person with a fixed mindset believes that they are either


    good or bad at something based on some inherent nature,
    which ultimately results in them avoiding challenges,
    giving up easily and ignoring useful negative feedback.
    ACTIVITY
    Stop & Reflect

    Two mindsets
    The mindset you choose can lead you down two distinct paths. As you can
    see, by embracing challenges and learning from mistakes, you can unlock
    your full potential and reach higher levels of achievement

    THE LESSON MENU
    SETBACKS!

    Whether it's failing a test or letting someone down –


    what should we do when faced with a setback?

    Try to embrace setbacks as opportunities for growth, knowing


    that rejection and failure do not define you.
    THE POWER OF YET

    Is it that you haven't mastered a skill, or haven't


    mastered a skill YET?

    The “yet” and “not yet” trick is a great way to reframe a situation and
    remind yourself positive results are a product of continued dedication
    and grit.
    IT'S A PROCESS

    Most of us are raised being praised for the outcomes we


    produce rather than the process we took to get there.

    It is natural that a lot of us have fixed mindsets in certain areas, especially


    when it comes to school and grades.
    The key is to change how we give
    compliments – to motivate not only others
    but also ourselves.

    We should reward work ethic, effort, and perseverance,


    not just the outcome.
    TOP TIP

    Having a growth mindset is the key


    to success. Believe in your potential
    to grow and improve, and watch
    your accomplishments soar!

    mindset
    We've got two activities lined up! First, fill out the worksheet to understand
    fixed and growth mindsets. Then, group up and chat about a tough time —
    maybe a bad grade — and discuss how someone with each mindset would
    react.

    roadblocks.

    key takeaways from
