What is a growth mindset?
This is all about how our perceptions of ourselves can have such a huge influence over what we are able to achieve.
Having a growth mindset means that you thrive on challenge. Failure is not a mark of unintelligence, but an opportunity to grow and better yourself.
This is the exact opposite of a ‘fixed mindset’, in which you accept that that your character, intelligence and creative ability are all static and unchangeable, and that no amount of effort will improve what nature has given you.
Of course, we want students to know that they can develop and grow with a bit of effort and a positive mentality, so displaying these posters in your classroom is a great way to encourage them!
