Our PBL focus for Weeks 1 and 2 is, ‘Wondall Learners have a growth mindset.’ A growth mindset means that you see challenge as an opportunity for learning. At Wondall, students are encouraged to embrace challenges and mistakes as opportunities to grow and learn.

Some discussion points that will be covered during the fortnight are:

• What is a growth mindset and fixed mindset?
• How can we develop a growth mindset?
• Strategies to support a growth mindset.
• The power of ‘YET”. I haven’t made it, yet. I haven’t figured it out, yet.
• Growth mindset affirmations and statements.
  
  • I can do hard things.
  • I am a problem solver.
  • I grow my brain by learning hard things.
  • I learn from my mistakes.
  • I ask for help when I need it.
  • Learning from my mistakes helps me to grow my brain.

 At Wondall we reinforce challenges are part of life and they help us to learn and grow.
