Lesson Plan
Reset the Story Plan Weeks 1–5
Students will pinpoint a fixed-mindset thought about high school and reframe it into a growth-mindset statement paired with a specific habit to try this week, setting the foundation for ongoing mindset and habit-building practice.
By learning to transform limiting self-talk into actionable growth statements, students build resilience, engagement, and positive habits that support attendance and long-term success.
