Growth Mindset for 9th Graders is an evidence-based program designed to increase students’ engagement, motivation, and ultimately success by laying the foundation for a growth mindset. The program is delivered in two 30-minute sessions and includes survey questions, short reading passages, and brief reflection exercises.
