Why not use these growth-minded phrases in the classroom to support your students with their learning:
- “Of course it’s difficult. School is here to make our brains stronger/grow!”
- “I admire your persistence and your hard work is admirable. It will certainly pay off.”
- “Let me explain it another way using different words.”
- “Look at how much progress you have made. Do you remember how much more challenging this was for you in the past?”
- “So you didn’t do as well as you wanted. Let’s look at this as a chance to learn.”
- “Try the following strategies to try and work this out.”
- “Mistakes are welcome! Your persistence will pay off.”
- “Simply try. Any mistakes we can fix and work through together.”
- “Why don’t we stop here for today and try this tomorrow with a fresher brain.”
- “You’re now ready for something more difficult and challenging.”
- “You are not quite here... yet.”
