I think I can, I think I can.

Inch by inch and row by row, we’re gonna make this garden grow…

Ever since I first heard Carol Dweck speak to a room full of admission directors in 2007, I have been fascinated by her work. It is interesting to see how her thinking as evolved as she has seen mindsets used for good and not so good…

At Seven Hills School, even with our very youngest learners, we have made a point of praising effort. WE work hard so they can understand working hard and some delayed gratification. We also want them to value the process as much as the product.
