Starting The Year Off with a Growth Mindset

 And we're back!

A few weeks ago, PS173 invited Corey Jones, a former high school teammate of Lebron James, to share with us the power of growth mindset through a variety of concrete and fun activities. Growth mindset is a concept we encourage our kids to apply in all aspects of their lives. It requires kids to think more deeply about the, "process" of learning rather than solely focusing on the end product. Through this process, students learn the importance of mistakes and occasional failures---because with each step, they learn something new about themselves and develop the patience and drive to accomplish whatever goals they set.
