GROWTH MINDSET PRINTABLES - Change Your Words, Change Your Mindset Worksheets

These growth mindset printables are a fantastic way to help students take ownership over their own learning and change their mindset from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset.

Each printable displays a fixed mindset in the soil, and a growth mindset in the flower. They can be used to explicitly teach students how to reframe their thinking.

The following fixed mindset > growth mindsets are included:

• This is good enough > Is this really my best work?
• I can't make this any better > I can always improve!
• I don't understand > What am I missing?
• I'm not very good at this > I'm on the right track. Keep going!
• I made a mistake > Mistakes help me to improve!
• I give up > I'll try a different strategy.
• This is too hard > This may take some time and effort.
• I'll never be as smart as them > I'm smart in different ways.
• They are better at this than me > What can I learn from them?
• Others are better at this than me > I'll keep practising and train my brain.
• This is impossible > I'm not afraid of a challenge!
• I can't do it > I'm going to keep trying until I can.
• This is so easy for others > Everybody learns differently.
• I'll never be as talented as them > I can learn from others.
• I'm not good at this > I'm getting better at this!
• I can't do this > I can do this!
• I don't know how to do this > I'm going to give it a go.
• I don't know what to do > I'm going to ask for help

Also included: a blank template for students to write their own fixed mindset vs growth mindset.
