Through this webinar i was able to take the time to reflect on my teaching practises around supporting children's positive identities. It allowed me to take the time to understand the tools of the concept of the growth mindset.

I really loved the way Barbara unpacks this topic and dives deep into it. This webinar was great for reflecting on myself as a teacher and how intentional and mindful I am with my language and interactions with children.
