Every Child Needs a Champion
"Every child deserves a champion; an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists that they become the best they can possibly be." - Rita Pierson

Every Child Needs a Champion

Activity
​Turn to a person in the room and share a time when someone was your champion and it was unexpected.  How did this change your day - your week - your year - or your life?



Two Mindsets

Fixed Mindset
When you’re using a fixed mindset, you may think that your abilities and qualities (for instance, athleticism, or aptitude in test-taking, or musicianship) are simply static and unchanging traits — things that either you’re born with or you’re not. Individuals using the fixed mindset tend to ignore the effects of concerted effort as these relate to success in any given endeavor.


​Fixed
vs.
​Growth
Growth Mindset
Individuals using a growth mindset, on the other hand, may come to realize that natural talent or intelligence is only a starting point, a baseline from which real progress begins. These people know that anyone can learn or do nearly anything through dedication and work. This outlook, perhaps because it fosters personal responsibility and agency, tends to kindle a passion for learning and a willingness to keep trying in the face of mistakes or failure.
