Alan “I’m not the best at English Class. It’s mostly because English isn’t my first language. Everybody else seems to know much more than me. They can learn new things so much faster.” - Alan, 10 th grade student in San Jose, CA

“In the past I’ve always had trouble with Math and English. Why shouldn’t I say that I’m just not good at it and quit trying?” “Other people in my family didn’t have success, and we have the same genes. So why should I have success?” How would you respond to these “Fixed Mindsets”?

Everybody has challenges in school. What are some setbacks or problems that you have experienced in your classes in school? Challenges

Life is a set of challenges. What you say is what you think… If you say “I can’t”, your brain shuts down. Try growth mindset language… What you say matters…
