A growth mindset can be effectively nurtured in classrooms where students often encounter challenges and learning opportunities. While the initial adoption of a growth mindset may feel difficult, students benefit significantly from regular exposure.
The Growth Mindset Poster For Classroom visually illustrates the concept of a growth mindset among students. It features two brain hemispheres: one hemisphere displays fixed mindset phrases, while the other presents alternative growth mindset phrases. The design of the poster also portrays the vibrant and colorful life encouraged by a growth mindset.
Kids and teens consistently exposed to the messages in this poster are likely to experience more positive classroom experiences, which include a greater sense of belonging. As a helpful tip, teachers can focus on giving constructive feedback that celebrates students’ efforts rather than grades. Moreover, they can provide opportunities for students to step out of their comfort zones and try new things!
This poster comes in an alternative color here, and we also have a more simplified version here.
