There is so much buzz around growth mindset in the classroom, and it can get to be really overwhelming.  I love the idea of growth mindset, but I'm not down with the sometimes cheesy way that it comes off. I have 10 strategies for promoting a growth mindset culture without actually having to explicitly say so: 

1. Test Retakes
2. Assignment Redos
3. Optional Homework
4. Extra Credit Opportunities
5. Variety of Activity Types
6. Affirmations
7. Picture Books (blog post here)
8. Teacher Language
9. Connecting Content to Real Life
10. Students Tracking Data
