Growth Mindset PowerPoint and Activities with 5 days of Lessons: Print & Digital

This growth mindset bundle features a PowerPoint, five days of lesson plans, and worksheets. The 85-slide PowerPoint is designed to introduce your students to 5 major components of growth mindset beliefs. To start, students are introduced to the differences between a growth mindset and a fixed mindset. Students also learn how repeated practice helps strengthen the brain and the power of positive self-talk. Finally, students learn how to best deal with mistakes and perceived failures, and they learn how to reframe their thinking so that criticism is viewed as helpful feedback. Students are introduced to each of these topics via the PowerPoint, and then they have an opportunity to practice what they have learned by using the follow-up worksheets. This is a great way in which to start your school year!

The 5 days of lessons are split like this:

Day 1: Growth Mindset vs. Fixed Mindset… An Introduction
