=Mindset resources= [] great class resources

//Suggestions for possible next steps:// 1) Teach students about mindset using the materials at this link (powerpoints that are ready to go. Just download and share!, includes notes on how to present!) [] 2) Let them discover their own mindset by providing them with the same quiz you took.. [] 3) Take it a step further; once they know about mindsets and have determined what their roadblocks might be, help them establish goals, ways to change self talk, etc.. The second attached presentation titled: mindsetstudentspresentation… gives you an idea of how this might look. If you need more ideas, let me know! //4)// Create mindset goals, bulletin boards, etc. at the beginning of the school year. Get parents involved. Use some of the materials at the first link to help parents understand the significance of praise, etc [] True Grit Article New Perspectives on Motivation and persistence
