Growth Mindset and Acts of Kindness

Our two community focus areas for today were growth vs. fixed mindset and small acts of kindness.  We began our day discussing the meaning of the following quote as well as how we each can act upon the quote.



We then watched the following video to help us understand growth vs. fixed mindset.  

This video showed us two very clear examples of how having a growth mindset allowed to change to happen and success to occur.  We watched as a group of young Thai boys worked together to become their island's first soccer team despite the negative feedback they received from the adults in their life. 

The second video we watched demonstrated how easy it is but how powerful it can be to put another person's needs before your own.



Feel free to watch and discuss these videos and ideas with your student at home!
