Day 1: Growth Mindset Unlocked! Script

Introduction (5 minutes)

(Teacher displays Day 1 Growth Mindset Unlocked! Slide Deck - Slide 1)

"Hello, incredible K-4 scholars! Welcome to the start of our 'Growth Mindset Journey'! This week, we're going to discover something super important about our brains and how we learn."

"Did you know your brain is like a muscle? Just like when you exercise your arms or legs, the more you use your brain, the stronger it gets! Today, we're going to talk about having a growth mindset."

"What do you think that means? A 'growth mindset'? Turn and talk to a partner for a moment. What does it mean to have a brain that can grow?"

(Allow 1-2 minutes for partner talk, then call on a few students to share.)

"Wonderful ideas! You're already thinking like growth mindset champions!"

Fixed vs. Growth Mindset (10 minutes)

(Teacher displays Day 1 Growth Mindset Unlocked! Slide Deck - Slide 2)

"Sometimes, when things are tough, we might hear a little voice in our heads saying, 'I can't do it!' or 'This is too hard!' That's what we call a fixed mindset. It's like your brain is saying, 'Nope, I'm stuck, I can't change.' How do those kinds of thoughts make you feel?"

(Facilitate a brief discussion about how fixed mindset thoughts make them feel – e.g., sad, frustrated, wanting to give up.)

"It's okay to feel that way sometimes, but we're going to learn how to change those thoughts!"

(Teacher displays Day 1 Growth Mindset Unlocked! Slide Deck - Slide 3)

"Now, imagine a different little voice! This voice says, 'I can't do it yet, but I can try!' or 'This is a challenge, and I'll learn from it!' That's a growth mindset! It means believing that with effort and practice, your brain can get smarter and better at anything! How do these thoughts make you feel?"

(Facilitate discussion – e.g., hopeful, motivated, excited to try.)

(Teacher displays Day 1 Growth Mindset Unlocked! Slide Deck - Slide 4)

"Let's practice! I'll say some sentences, and you tell me if it sounds like a fixed mindset or a growth mindset. Ready?"

"1. 'This math problem is too tricky. I give up.' (Pause) Fixed or Growth? Why?"

"2. 'I don't know this word yet, but I can sound it out!' (Pause) Fixed or Growth? Why?"

"3. 'I'm not good at drawing, so I won't try.' (Pause) Fixed or Growth? Why?"

"4. 'I'll ask for help and keep practicing my drawing!' (Pause) Fixed or Growth? Why?"

(Guide students to identify and explain their reasoning.)

My Brain Can Grow! Activity (10 minutes)

(Teacher displays Day 1 Growth Mindset Unlocked! Slide Deck - Slide 5)

"You are all doing an amazing job understanding growth mindset! Now, I'm going to give you a worksheet for our Day 1 My Brain Can Grow! Worksheet."

"On this worksheet, I want you to draw a picture or write about a time you learned something new by trying hard. Maybe you learned to ride a bike, tie your shoes, or read a challenging book. Think about how your brain grew!"

(Distribute the Day 1 My Brain Can Grow! Worksheet and walk around to assist students. Encourage them to share their experiences.)

Wrap-up (5 minutes)

(Teacher displays Day 1 Growth Mindset Unlocked! Slide Deck - Slide 6)

"Wow, these are wonderful examples of your brains growing! Can a few of you share what you drew or wrote about?"

(Call on a few students to share.)

"Fantastic! Remember, your brain is a superpower that can always grow! The most important thing is to keep trying, even when things are tough, and to add the word 'yet' when you feel stuck. 'I can't do it yet!'"

"Thank you for being such amazing Mindset Movers today! See you next time!"
