Facilitator Guide and Timing Notes

Students will describe fixed vs. growth mindsets and choose two effort-based strategies to apply during the week, measured by a pre-assessment rubric baseline and end-of-lesson exit tickets.

Understanding fixed vs. growth mindsets empowers students to embrace challenges, learn from mistakes, and develop resilience. This lesson builds self-regulation and motivation for lifelong learning.
