Growth Mindset
Growth Mindset: We develop positive children with a love of learning.
As staff we will always aim to live by:
- Role model a Growth Mindset in class
- Teach Growth Mindset specifically within the timetable
- Provide regular opportunities for children to get stuck and support them to find their own solutions
- Reward effort specifically! Celebrating learning new things
- Nurture an environment where failure is seen as a necessary step. Actively in lessons
- Promote and reinvent the learning powers, esp KS2
- “A week to THRIVE” timetabled at the beginning of every year
- Work to promote a thirst for success when children leave Bushmead
- Model failure to children
We expect children to live by:
- Think about our learning powers in lessons
- Have a go at things like Hector
- Don’t give up with work like. Daisy
- Always try to be curious like Colin
- Keep improving just like Colin
- Understand that getting something wrong is how our brain grows and develops
We expect parents to live by:
- Take a bit of time to understand what it means to have a Growth Mindset
- To try and refer to our learning power characters occasionally at home
