Lesson 2: The growth mindset

Activity: Build my growth mindset!

Google Classroom

Take a moment to reflect.

In this reflection, we'll create our own growth mindset pep talk that we can use to conquer our fixed mindset voice when we hear it.

Step one: Give your fixed mindset voice a nickname.

Why? A nickname can help you recognize your own fixed mindset thoughts. Write down the nickname and save it.

Step two: Identify when your fixed mindset voice shows up.

Here are some situations when Thinky Pinky’s fixed mindset shows up:

Doing long division—So many steps! It's so confusing!
Playing soccer—Running is quite challenging for Thinky Pinky!

What are some situations when your fixed mindset voice shows up?

Step three: Plan out what you'll say to your fixed mindset.

Here's what Thinky Pinky says when his fixed mindset shows up:

“My brain can change! It just needs time and practice.”
“YOU can do this! Maybe you just need to try a different strategy.”
“This is hard! My brain will form a lot of new connections as I learn it.”

When you start hearing your fixed mindset voice, what are three things you could say to yourself in response?

When I hear my fixed mindset voice, I will tell myself ___.

When I hear my fixed mindset voice, I will ___.

Remember, everyone struggles in different situations! Struggle is just part of the learning and growing process.
