Life Skills

Growth Mindset

In recent life skills lessons, we have been exploring the concept of growth mindset.

Having a growth mindset doesn’t only benefit children. Today, we will be exploring how having a growth mindset could help teachers to improve as well!

Take a look at the following videos and questions.

Is the teacher doing a good job?

What could he do to improve?

In this difficult situation, how could he demonstrated a growth mindset?

Has there been any improvement since the first scene?

What’s he still doing wrong?

How could a growth mindset have improved the teacher’s relationship with class?

Your task this afternoon is to design the perfect teacher. Think carefully about which aspects of growth mindset would be the most important.

Below are a few examples to help you.

Remember to upload your work so we can look at your ideas and demonstrate a growth mindset ourselves!

  2. I really liked the Matchbox Diary story. I enjoyed the part where he got a good job as a printer for thirty years, he worked so hard when he was younger and then had his own shop full of things he loved. I also loved the day he spent time with his dad at the baseball game because he felt relaxed and happy .

    I was up early and started work at 8:30am. I’m having a happier day today 😊

  9. I have done my maths too and have sent it to the cloud. I’m going to do accelerated reader now ive chosen a book on polar bears from get epic i like books about animals

    1. As long as you’ve checked all of your work and you’re happy with it then I don’t see why not.
      Are you able to upload what you’ve done to the cloud, or have you already done so?
