Growth Mindset, Social Skill, & Pictorial Concentration Activities
cc: "JT" Taylor - https://www.flickr.com/photos/42928188@N02
In this PPT you will find:1) A Growth Mindset Activity.
• Growth Mindset was popularized by Stanford researcher Carol Dweck. Dr. Dweck finds the brain to be malleable and believes the “brain can grow” and become stronger like a muscle. The more you work on it the
stronger it becomes. The activity involves using a Utube video.
2) A social skill activity that allows your students to grow in the area of social-emotional learning. This week’s social skill is devoted to things that
can be said out loud and things that need to be kept to oneself. The activity uses a utube video.
3) Pictorial Concentration activitiesThe picture activities require students to sit quietly and study the details of the pictures projected in front of them for 2 minutes. This calming activity
improves on task behavior, working memory, and ability to focus. The pictures are tied with a common theme. Most teachers use one
picture per day five days a week. Once the students are interested in the pictures, you can use them as rewards or “break activities.”
The first ten pictures have sample questions to ask of your students to allow them to practice their working memory, focus on the picture, and try to
memorize its details.
All can modify the activities to the instructional level of your students.
Growth Mindset, Social Skill, Mindful/Focusing Activities, and the IEP Tip of the Week.

1) Growth Mindset.It is recommended that you introduce the Growth Mindset Activity on Monday and follow up on its key concepts
throughout the week.The activity is based on the work of Stanford researcher Carol Dweck who believes that the brain is malleable and that the student’s belief in their ability to “grow” their brain improves their achievement, motivation, self-confidence. You can find
more information at https://www.mindsetworks.com/webnav/whatismindset.aspx
2) Social Skill Activity. It is recommended that you introduce the activity on Tuesday and follow up on it throughout the week. It is most effective when you introduce the idea through an activity and then integrate its main concepts into various instructional activities
throughout the rest of the week. You can find more information about Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) at http://www.edutopia.org/social-emotional-learning?gclid=Cj0KEQjwvOC5BRCb_8yNmZ_ls9IBEiQACTz8vsS9RPEvy_T8YR_2iC7bgX9TS9LciDsDp1EqZOfMAbYaAuwN8P8HAQ
4) Pictorial Concentration Activities. The pictures are tied with a common theme. You can use one picture per activity. You can use this activity once a day or
several times a day. Most teachers use one picture per week day five days a week.
At the end of the week ask the students about the common theme that ties all the pictures together.
Have your students sit in a comfortable mindful pose. They can either sit in their chairs with hands on their knees, backs straight, no slouching, feet touching the floor, or sit on the floor with their legs in “criss-cross-apple-sauce” position. Use a
chime or a pleasant sounding timer. Start soft background music and give your students two fill minutes. Ask your students to sit quietly. No talking is allowed. The students need to study the picture’s details. If the pictures have a
letter in them, ask them to make up a title for the picture using the letter in one of the words in the title. After the two minutes are over, turn off the projector and ask the students to describe what they saw, give the picture a
title, or use it as a writing prompt for a quick writing exercise.
