A growth mindset involves embracing challenges as opportunities for learning and growth, believing that intelligence can develop, and being unafraid to take risks for improvement. People with a growth mindset persist in the face of setbacks and are eager to learn from their mistakes.
The Growth Mindset Poster works by presenting seven alternative thoughts that encourage a positive and growth-oriented attitude. Each thought challenges a fixed mindset belief. For example, instead of “I don’t know how,” the poster suggests “I can learn how!”
When growth mindset phrases are consistently used by kids and teens, their academic performance is likely to improve. They can make a habit of looking at the poster every morning. This can set a positive tone for the day, reminding them to approach challenges with a can-do attitude.
We also offer another version of this poster here, and another color option, here.
