Students encounter many “signs of learning” throughout their buildings. These visuals are intended to encourage talent, all while setting high standards for students. Students’ academic work is displayed and contributes to a positive educational climate.
Many dedicated educators are committed to helping students navigate through their day offering encouragement as they challenge them to become better peer models and they inspire them to learn new things.
Growth Mindset is a path that is open for all – it teaches us that when we encounter obstacles, we can use our mindset as an inner navigational compass.
