Growth Mindset

This week at ACHS students continued learning about healthy relationships and belief systems. Students watched a series of performance arts videos, including slam poetry and hip hop theater, where artists discussed various aspects of their identities and how these experiences have shaped how they view the world, and how people see them. Students were then encouraged to use their multicultural identity maps to think about how their identities help to shape their unique own perspectives.
Later in the week students learned about growth mindset. Students watched a Ted Talk discussing Carol Dweck's research on intelligence and mindset, students then brainstormed ways in which their mindset could either be limiting or empowering.
