3 Credits - Inservice - April 15 — June 17

Research on the growth mindset shows that students who believe they can grow their basic abilities have greater motivation and higher achievement than do students who believe their abilities are fixed, and that teachers can influence students’ mindsets. Course will examine the differences between fixed and growth mindsets and provide educators with the tools to foster grit, determination, and work ethic within students, athletes, and people of all ages. Lesson and unit plans will be examined and developed.
