Description
Your students are all exceptional people, but what if their future success was more connected to their mindsets than to all of their amazing, gifted skills? Research is showing mindset to be the ultimate predictor of success, rather than skill. Trainer Nicole Shannon has found that students with growth-mindsets, and a sense of perseverance and grit, fare better than their equally gifted peers.
This course will help you:
- Understand why gifted students are prone to negative, fixed mindsets
- Learn to “hear” and reframe fixed-mindset thoughts
- Encourage growth-mindsets in your students

This is first time I have heard the word Grit. And its exactly what I needed to hear to help me get through my 8th graders. The presenter did a great job explaining Growth mindset and Fixed mindset and gives ideas to build grit with our GT and also with the rest of our students.

Great information. We used the idea of “Yet” a few years back, but let it slip away after one year. It is the BEST idea to help kids develop a growth mindset.

I liked the information because it gave me answers about how to talk to parents when their children are struggling.
Jonathan – New Life Christian Academy (verified owner) –
This is great and so important for our students today. The only reason I cannot give it a 5 star is because I had been to a seminary with the lady from the Ted Talk about Grit when she originally gave it and to this day we still don’t have a way to teach grit? That was disappointing and puts it on the individual teacher to just figure it out, but perhaps grit goes beyond the classroom and is likewise influenced at home, in society, etc. as well.
Todd – New Life Christian Academy (verified owner) –
