Growth Mindset

Payne students have been learning about how growth mindsets can help them tackle challenging tasks.  Last week, parents learned about growth mindsets, too!  As part of our Payne Parent Workshop series, we provided an overview of Carol Dweck's work around growth mindsets and how to foster these traits in their children.  ~Katie Berg
