In this discussion, Becca brings in Jenn Maichin as a guest, with an impressive 29-year career pioneering growth mindset work in Mineola (NY) school district. The conversation delves into Academic Mindsets and its four components: Belief in Growth (aka Growth Mindset), Self-Efficacy, Sense of Belonging, and Sense of Meaning and Purpose. If you have been bringing Growth Mindset concepts into your school and have seen very little impact on teacher and student success, you might be missing other Academic Mindsets. As Jenn unpacks each of these elements, you'll gain valuable insights into how to diagnose what is truly missing for students and teachers to not only believe they can achieve, but actually put it into action.

Becca and Jenn masterfully articulate the neuroscience breakdown of how the brain functions with a growth mindset compared to a fixed mindset, which has the potential to dramatically enhance your coaching impact. Jenn specifically shares a creative approach used to teach young children about neuroscience, introducing the "pop, buzz, zap" method to reinforce growth mindset principles in a tangible and engaging manner (which can also help adults understand their own neuroscience).

Tune in to Ep. 70 to find out how you can diagnose your own mindsets, manage perfectionism and empower others to grow their own Growth Mindset (and other Academic Mindsets). In the end, it's not about inspiring them to grow. It's about empowering them to grow!
