BLC16 Evaluation Form
Are you excited about implementing growth mindset principles with your students but are unsure where to begin? Let us help. This past year, we developed and implemented science and literature-based curriculum to help change the thinking of our students and ourselves. In one school year, our classrooms became places where mistakes were celebrated as learning opportunities, and teachers were laser-focussed on consistent, targeted feedback.

In this session, we will show you how to:

- Teach your students that their brains are complex organs that grow through practicing, making mistakes, and trying new things.
- Create an atmosphere where growth mindsets are celebrated in the classroom and beyond
- Utilize technology such as digital portfolios, class blogs, and Twitter to make your students’ growth mindset visible
