In the month of January, students from all over North America, who are part of the international program, Classroom Champions took a deeper look at goal setting and how important it is to work through the challenges or roadblocks we face when trying to reach a goal. Our mentor for this year, Scott Tupper, did an excellent job at helping my kids to realize that we all have obstacles, but we become a better person when we persevere through these challenging moments.

To help reinforce this topic, as well as to help develop a more positive outlook on facing challenges, we dove deeper into Growth Mindset. Using a video from Mindset Kit, we took the information shared in the video and applied it to a few practice situations.
Once we completed the above document, the students then had to create a reflection on Let's Recap, either as a oral response or written. In order to mark these responses, the following rubric was used: Perseverance Reflection.
Although I deleted their responses from the queue (I really should not have done this), you will have to trust me that some of the responses received were very perceptive and let me know they really understood how this reflection process assisted them in realizing their goals OR continuing to push through to achieve them.
