Do You Have a Growth Mindset?

Content

Do you take failure hard? We all do, but the most successful scholars view failure as an opportunity. While a fixed mindset tells us that we cannot improve, a growth mindset makes failure easier to bear and sets us up for success. Research has shown that when students adopt a growth mindset, they are more likely to challenge themselves and believe they can achieve more. This shift in perspective helps them become stronger, more resilient, and more creative problem-solvers. Learn how to grow from setbacks by adopting a growth mindset.
