Growth Mindset is the belief that we have the capability of improving our abilities and intelligence.  A Fixed Mindset if the complete opposite; it is the belief that our abilities and intelligence cannot grow.  At Shimotsu Elementary, we believe in the importance of having a growth mindset.  In doing so, children learn that by working harder and using the right strategies, we can get better at what we are set on doing.  With a growth mindset, children become empowered, gain confidence and are even more resilient.
