Growth Mindset Diagram and Chart
Learning Level: Gr 4
Theme Area:
Description: Students participated in a series of lessons on how the brain works and how they can use this knowledge on applying a growth mindset in their everyday experiences. They identified how 'self-talk' can assist them in their mindset and approach to everyday tasks. The aim of the activity was for students to learn how the brain works and then use this knowledge to improve their skills, or learn a new skill. Students developed a coloured diagram of the brain and contributed their individual strategies for developing a growth mindset to make a chart.
Measures of Success: Students will be able to explain how their brain works and how this knowledge can help them in developing a growth mindset; they will be able to demonstrate how to plan a way to practice a growth mindset and improving or learning new skills.
