Lesson Plan
I Can't ... Yet!
Students will understand the difference between fixed and growth mindsets and practice reframing negative self-talk using “yet,” culminating in a personal goal reflecting a growth mindset.
Fostering a growth mindset equips students to embrace challenges, learn from mistakes, and build resilience—skills key to academic success and lifelong learning.
