grow your mindset
Grow your Mindset started as a little project for 2 primary school teachers and
Grow Your Mindsets founders, Gemma Sanchez and Elizabeth Cronshaw. As middle
leaders, they were asked to look at the lack of resilience that the children at
their school were showing. They'd felt it themselves, in their own classrooms.
Even with their jazz hands, collaborative learning and creative style to
teaching, there was always a handful of kids who found things 'too hard', lacked
in effort, feared making mistakes and would go into melt down if they didn't get
things right and this sparked a journey, Gemma and Liz would not forget. The
journey of Growth Mindset. As you do, you get yourself on a really inspirational
course and they paid for it themselves because school budgets were tight. They
headed in to Manchester to spend the day and listen to public speaker and author
of a ton of useful books, Jackie Beere and her journey of growth. They were
hooked. They could see the answer in the palm of their hands, the theory that
was going to revolutionise their classrooms for ever!
