My Growth Mindset Journal - Annie Brock
INTRODUCTION
Test scores and measures of achievement tell you where a student is, but they don’t tell you where a student could end up.
—Carol Dweck
Hello, fellow educators! We are so happy you have joined us on this growth-mindset journey. The Growth Mindset Journal is designed to get you thinking and writing about your mindset at school. Make no mistake: Honest self-reflection is not an easy undertaking. It is challenging work that forces us to peel back the layers of our everyday experiences and confront our habits, values, and beliefs with an open mind and an open heart. As teachers, we experience so many daily decisions and interactions that it’s easy to get caught up in the minutiae of the job, but when we take the time to look inward with a critical eye, we have the opportunity to see the bigger picture.
In her book, Mindset, Carol Dweck tells us, Becoming is better than being.
This journal is to help you become. When we operate in the fixed mindset, we saddle ourselves with false limitations. We trick ourselves out of going for what we truly want by convincing ourselves we are incapable, less than, or not destined for greatness. When we operate in the growth mindset, we have a fundamental belief in our ability to change, grow, and achieve. We want you to embrace the growth mindset as a perpetual state of becoming. If you allow yourself, you can always learn, grow, and take the path to a deeper understanding. The journey down that path begins with the first step of self-discovery.
There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.
—Colin Powell
There is no right way to interact with this journal. You might start from the beginning and work your way through, close your eyes and open to a random page each day, or pick it up once every few weeks when the mood to write strikes you. It’s not important how you engage in self-reflection; it’s only important that you do. There are a variety of topics, idea starters, question-and-response scenarios, doodle tasks, and journal prompts in these pages. We’ve also included pages at the end of the journal that simply say My day at school …,
because sometimes you have something you need to get out that doesn’t follow a prompt or guideline, and that’s okay, too.
