Having a growth mindset is key to transformational education. Dorothy Gnanakan shares how perseverance and effort contribute to our continued learning as we seek to become all that God intends and help others step into their God-given gifts. 

• “Growth mindset is that internal belief that abilities can be improved and developed with perseverance and effort - those are the two key words.  That creates a love for learning and produces resilience.”
• “God created us with astounding brains that can grow and change throughout the course of a lifetime. You never stop learning and growing.”
• “All of Scripture screams that we were created with and for a divine purpose.”
• “Marrying the physical capability of how God created our minds and intellect with the grand spiritual purpose for which we were created unleashes tremendous transformative opportunities in learners. This growth mindset is aligning what we believe about ourselves with what God says about us.”
• “The Holy Spirit refines and gives us more power to truly rejoice with those who rejoice because we realize that that is a celebration of God’s narrative and timeline in someone else’s life, which also means that God equally has that grand narrative in our lives.”
• “Recognize and celebrate the productive struggle, the productive pain that yields growth.”
• “Disorienting dilemmas are disrupting experiences in our chosen challenges.  Those are necessary for transformative learning in which we really have to engage in that productive struggle.”
