Average rating:4.8Number of reviews:(59)
Teens will be introduced to the Growth Mindset and learn the science behind taking charge of their outlook on life.
Class experience
This summer camp allows students to explore the science involved in the Growth Mindset creatively. I will create a safe space for students to openly ask questions, share experiences and opinions respectfully, and build better relationships with others and themselves.
Monday- What is the Growth Mindset, and what is the science that backs it up?
Share my own experience with the Growth Mindset.
Busting the myth of right brain/left brain preference.
...My students will walk away from this class with a deeper understanding of the Growth Mindset and the science that supports such a mindset. They will have the tools needed to practice mindfulness, gratitude, stress management, and self-acceptance. Students will also know how to reframe their thoughts and self-soothe in a creative way.
I have a specialty in science that includes classes completed in Anatomy and Physiology 1-2, Psychology, Human Growth and Development, and Teaching the Exceptional Student. I have also had experience applying the growth mindset and experiencing its life-changing effects. I have guided many discussions about sensitive matters amongst students and know how to keep the environment calm, loving, supportive, respectful, and open.
I will provide printouts for each class. Students must bring the printouts I provide them, crayons, colored pencils, markers, and pens.
We will refer to the sources below throughout the class:
