Lesson Plan

Facilitator Guide and Timing Notes

Students will learn to distinguish between fixed and growth mindsets and choose two effort-based strategies to apply this week, measured by a baseline pre-assessment and an exit ticket.

Understanding mindsets empowers students to embrace challenges, build resilience, and recognize that effort and strategies drive learning and success.
