Free Growth Mindset Program for 9th Graders
Many students hold debilitating beliefs about their intelligence. They believe things like, “I’m not smart enough” or “This subject just isn’t for me.” These beliefs can be especially damaging during the academically and socially challenging transition to high school.
Growth Mindset for 9th Graders is an evidence-based program designed to increase students’ engagement, motivation, and ultimately success by laying the foundation for a growth mindset. The program is delivered in two 30-minute sessions and includes survey questions, short reading passages, and brief reflection exercises.
This program is offered at no charge due to financial and programmatic support from The Character Lab, the Bezos Family Foundation, and the Raikes Foundation.
