Tool 1 – Growth Mindset Activities

This guide has activities for counselors and educators to help students develop growth mindsets that can support their resiliency throughout the college transition.

Many college preparation materials emphasize a focus on achievement, but reflecting on your areas of growth, challenges and learning from past mistakes or missteps is critically valuable for students as the transition and succeed in college.

This is a tool in Toolkit 2 – How to Encourage Student Leadership for Transitions to College, which is the first of three toolkits in IDRA’s Community-based College Access – Online Technical Assistance Toolkit.
