The Power of "Yet"

CHALLENGES
OBSTACLES
EFFORT

Challenges are opportunities to learn and grow.

Obstacles show us what we need to learn more about.

Putting forth effort is how mastery is achieved.

CRITICISM
SUCCESS OF OTHERS
RESULTS

Criticism provides feedback to direct learning.

There are lessons and inspiration in the success of others.

People with the growth mindset reach the highest levels of achievement and have  a greater sense of free will.

“Yet” is how I’ve lived most of my life. I’m not the fastest runner yet. I am not the best teacher yet. I use this concept of “yet” daily in my classroom. Some questions I answer with, “We don’t know that yet.” Or “you will learn that next year.” I also reiterate this with my students when they say they can’t do it. I remind them they just haven’t mastered it yet.

A Testimonial

I believe people with growth mindset tend to enjoy learning more, because they know there will be something to gain.
