Growth and fixed mindsets are the two categories. With the understanding that something may be difficult to do but will be worthwhile, someone with a growth mindset is open to challenges and enthusiastic about learning new things. If you have a fixed mindset, you desire to be able to complete tasks quickly and struggle with persistence. We have talked about this with all of the kids and are working on ways to identify these mindsets in the classroom and understand that everyone learns differently in different contexts depending on how they feel about what they are doing. Together, we are improving all learning chances by figuring out how to collaborate effectively and changing our perspectives.
