Creating a Growth Mindset for Educators

Having a growth mindset is not only essential for children, but also for educators as well. Educators hold the power to create the routine and environment; therefore, they are the key to supporting resiliency and creating growth- oriented early years spaces. A growth mindset is about instilling ourselves and the children with the understanding that challenges are growth opportunities and that potential is limitless.

In this presentation, participants will:

• Explore what it means to have a growth mindset and how to apply it in ECE practice.
• Get an opportunity to think about how to foster a growth mindset in children through the language they use, the way they set up the environment, and the way they navigate challenges with children.
