Research suggests that when students put forth great effort to understand information and learn it, they actually can recall it better. In other words, we should design lessons, activities, and assessments that challenge students to think deeply about the information.

Dr. Carol Dweck, author of Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, says that a growth mindset is the foundation of wanting a challenge, persevering through the challenge, and desiring long-term growth and success.

Understanding these qualities of humility and implementing them through school principals, superintendents, or other educational leaders can truly help the whole school grow in tremendous ways.

Gratitude is defined as “the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.” Antonio Damasio, professor of psychology and neurology at USC said, “There has not been much attention given to the emotion of gratitude, and yet it is extremely important in social behavior. Gratitude rewards generosity and maintains the cycle of healthy social behavior.” One of my biggest goals this past year was to show more gratitude for the small things that people did for me.
“As you eat, so shall you think.” Every day people make decisions about what to eat and these foods have a direct impact on their quality of life. Parents have to feverishly create a breakfast, pack snacks, and make lunches before rushing out the door to school.

I hope it helps you as much as it has helped me.
