Growth Mindset: From Fixed Thinking to Lifelong Learning
Friday May 1, 1:00 PM
In a complicated world, how do we equip young learners with the tools they need to embrace challenges and to not give up? Developing a growth mindset is the key to unlocking a student's motivation and ultimately achievement. By paying close attention to our own mindsets, we can shift the language we use to empower young learners to not give up despite mistakes, to value sustained effort over immediate success, and to motivate them to stay lifelong learners.
Partner Spotlight:
Good Samaritan Family Resource Center
Strong families. Bright futures. For generations.

Good Samaritan supports all vulnerable children, youth and low income families, throughout San Francisco, especially immigrant and newcomer families. Together we work to build the necessary skills and resources to overcome poverty and displacement, develop self-sufficiency, and participate fully in the community we all share.

As a newcomer family, we didn’t know how to prepare for kindergarten, and I felt uneasy leaving my child without a family member. But from the moment I visited, I felt the warmth of the teachers and the love in the classroom. I knew my child would thrive here, and we are forever grateful for such a caring and nurturing start to school.
