Growth Mindset
At Haw Creek we embrace the Growth Mindset model in our PBIS implementation.
A mindset is the self-perception that people have about themselves. There are two types of mindsets, fixed and growth. We want our students to have a growth mindset. In a fixed mindset, people believe their basic qualities, like their intelligence or talent, are simply fixed traits. In a growth mindset, people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work. A growth mindset creates a love for learning, resilience and determination that are essential for growing in and out of the classroom. At Haw Creek we work hard to foster a growth mindset in each child as we believe that all children can accomplish great things!
