This week's Advisory lesson started our focus on helping students to build a "growth mindset." This lesson uses the research done by Dr. David Yeager and Dr. Carol Dweck at Stanford University. Dr. Dweck's groundbreaking book "Mindset" is a great source for parents to look at when researching this topic.
The lesson that was taught this week was called "Why the Brain is Like A Muscle" and compares the brain to a muscle that grows and changes through effort, strategies, and seeking help. The lesson focused on teaching students the science behind how the brain works and learns. Take a look at our lesson, paying special attention to the discussion questions at the end of the presentation.
