These are some resources for talking about the Learning Pit and Growth Mindset. There is a PDF of lesson slides and two sets of posters that I created using inspiration from around the internet. Some pictures are taken from Google images, some from posters I created. Videos are from Youtube and Vimeo.
New! Flipchart has been replaced by a PPTX.
This is a lesson I have used with children who did not work well together in groups. There is discussion about what it means to be a team, they have to define what groupwork is, and there is an exercise which will make a great display (a good reminder if it is placed in the classroom). This could be used if group work behaviour is slipping, or at the beginning of the year to re-enforce the idea of working in teams/groups.
Great for the less organised children in your class!
This basic resource gives a series of steps and time limits which you can stick on the children's desks to ensure that they are ready to begin learning as soon as possible.
I originally created this resource for use with SEN children but found that it worked great with my whole class!
