Growth Mindset

 

 

 

Dear Students,

I am a firm believer in the power of the growth mindset, and approach each year with the belief that all YOU are capable of learning and growth. What is growth mindset? Simply put, it is the belief that intelligence and ability are not fixed traits or that we are born with only so many of them. Rather, with effort and perseverance, everyone is capable of academic achievement.

 

Every day, YOU will be immersed in the growth mindset in my classroom. You will be asked to take educational risks. You will be praised not for your mental quickness or natural intelligence but for approaching the process of learning with grit and determination. As a result, YOU will grow in ways you never thought possible.

 

Sincerely,

Mrs. Barron
