Benefiting Students

How often do you hear "I am just not good at X" or "it's not fair that Y is so good at Z"? These are the types of statements that come from having a fixed mindset. Fostering a growth mindset in students will help them see challenges as a chance to grow and learn. Furthermore, students will be empowered to improve rather than just wishing things were different.
