DEVELOPING GROWTH MINDSETS
For many students, school is a place of negativity and frustration. They are constantly reminded they are not good enough. They endure it only because they have to.
It doesn't have to be that way. Click below to see an inspiring video by Dr. Carol Dweck, professor of psychology at Stanford University. She talks about ways to help kids develop persistence and learn to believe in themselves.
