Changing Mindsets





Teach Tenacity

Why do some students fight through difficult problems and others give up?  Are they lazy? Carol Dweck is a psychologist at Stanford University who studies mindsets and success.  Her studies show that over time you can teach your students to fight through their challenges.  This could have a big impact on your student’s lives.

I have read about this research in past, but it is a great reminder.  Our words to students mean a great deal.  Please take four minutes and check out the video.  Changing the mindset of our students is half of the battle.
