Kristine Mraz and Christine Hertz wrote A Mindset for Learning: Teaching the Traits of Joyful, Independent Growth and it is one of the most important books I've read as a teacher. If you were to visit my classroom, my students could share stories with you about optimism, empathy, persistence, resiliency and flexibility. When mistakes happen and problems arise, they are learning how to pause and find solutions. It's heartwarming to hear them using and living the words.
this would also make a good exercise for adults in Community Partnership training sessions
