https://padlet.com/TransformEd/growthmindset Growth mindset is the belief that you can grow your talents and abilities with effort. Students with a growth mindset see effort as necessary for success, embrace challenges, learn from criticism, and persist in the face of setbacks. They might ask the teacher to demonstrate a different way to solve a problem, volunteer answers in class even when unsure or ask seemingly basic questions, or seek out challenging problems.
