As movement teachers, we know or have observed that growth is never linear and opportunities to fail greatly impact the growth trajectory. Today, we dive into a topic that is very much a pop culture phrase going around at the moment, the ‘growth mindset’. We explore what it means as it relates to movement teachers or studio owners and discuss what it looks like, the approaches toward it, and why it is important. We then take a look at how we can work toward cultivating a growth mindset as movement teachers and in our studios. Hannah then takes us through the C.O.U.R.A.G.E model as a tool for growing a growth mindset, including modelling opportunities for failure, being authentically you, taking action, and what grit means for movement teachers. Our growth mindset is what sets the tone for our student’s learning environment and is a fundamental and important skill because by us growing, our students will as well.
