Mindset
We are thrilled to announce our study of Mindset at Bernard!  Mindset is an idea that was discovered by a world-renowned psychologist, Carol Dweck after decades of research on achievement and success.  Through her research, she came to determine that there are two mindsets.  The first is a FIXED MINDSET, in which a person believes that their abilities and intelligence are fixed traits and cannot be changed.  The second is GROWTH MINDSET, in which a person believes that their abilities and intelligence can be improved over time through hard work.
 
It is our goal to instill a GROWTH MINDSET in our students. We are working with students in the junior division with a focus on neuroscience and achieving goals through effort. Through an interactive online program, Brainology, students are learning to view their brain as a muscle, how their brain works and ways to exercise it to make it stronger.  They are being supported and encouraged to approach their school work and other activities with a belief that success is possible for ALL who are willing to work for it.Student on Mindset Computer.jpg
