    Reflections on Mindset

    After reading the information provided in the moodle book from Dr. Carol Dweck on mindset and reviewing your notes from the lecture on Mindset, discuss how the ideas of a fixed mindset and growth mindset apply to all areas of your life.  How do you perceive yourself?  How do you perceive others?  Discuss mindset in the areas of academics, athletics, arts, etc.

  • You are going to work on the Naviance Personal Growth Assignment. 

    There are four parts. Choose to do 1 part for the next 4 weeks.

    Do them in this order:

    1. Learning Style Inventory Due 4/3  2. Strengths Explorer Due 4/10   3. Do What You Are  Due 4/24         4. Career Interests Profiler Due 5/1

    Each Inventory has a writing reflection piece. Each Reflection sheet has been shared to you. I have shared two sample inventories below for you to take a look at. You have already done the Learning Style Inventory so that is 1 less for you to complete, but you still need to do the reflection for it. 

    Save each summary of your results as a pdf in your AVID folder so I can see it.
