GROWTH MINDSET<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Growth Mindset is based on the belief that your basic qualities are things you can cultivate through your efforts, your strategies, and help from others.\u201d<\/p>Carol Dweck, Author of Mindset The New Psychology of Success<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Reflection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I have always thought I was not enough, and I always kept to myself in school and at work. I did what was expected of me and nothing more or less. Since learning about a Growth Mindset over the summer, I started speaking my ideas to the ones that listened. I realized that I have many great ideas and shared my ideas with those that motivated me to put these ideas into action. Speaking in front of a crowd or responding to someone I do not know personally is something I would not have done before. Earlier this year, our Superintendent sent out an email for teachers to share about hope, why it is essential, what you do to keep it alive, and what makes you hopeful, and I replied to it. Out of many teacher entries, mine was shared by the Superintendent with everyone in the district. Before the Growth Mindset, I would not have shared or even replied to the Superintendent\u2019s email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
