Kristen speaks of how sometimes, our immediate need to make it better for a student overrides our long-term goal of empowering students to problem-solve on their own. We've got to do our best to stick to this long-term goal, though, and help students build up the resolve and grit that enable them to sew their own pillows. When we sew for them, we send two POWERFUL, devastating messages: You are incapable on your own and IF you wait long enough and create enough of a fuss, someone will eventually do it for you. Neither of these messages is healthy or positive, and neither aligns with the greater purpose of our profession.

Fixed/Growth MindsetQuick Review:
Fixed Mindset = Intelligence, capabilities, and talents are fixed at birth (e.g. "I am not and never will be good at math.")
Growth Mindset = Intelligence, capabilities, and talents can be acquired and lost (e.g. "I have been practicing adding fractions which has helped me to better understand algebra.").
Next Steps: How could you introduce this to students to help them shift towards a Growth Mindset (first three leaders to share some ideas/strategies will receive a prize).
