Last night I came across this motivating clip on you tube which I have since shared with my Year 6 students. The clip is a great way to introduce Growth Mindset and get students thinking about their goals and ambitions.
Growth Mindset Clip
Since watching this clip, my students have been asked to go home and think about their goals which they are going to write down and display on the class wall. We will then work towards our stepping stones for achieving our goals.
I have reminded them it is perfectly fine to dream big. If they have an ultimate goal which may take years to achieve, we will just work backwards from our ultimate goal and create mini goals (stepping stones) to help achieve it. These goals will also help me think about my teaching and what I need to be doing to help my students achieve their goals.
