Lesson Plan
Magic Mindset Map
Students will learn that their brain is like a muscle they can grow with effort. They will distinguish a fixed mindset from a growth mindset and practice using growth-mindset language through discussion and a fun maze activity.
Early growth-mindset lessons build self-awareness and resilience, helping 1st graders see challenges as opportunities to learn and persevere.
