How sustainable is the growth mindset change after the 8-week program?
I’m curious how long the whole “growth mindset boost” actually lasts after finishing the 8-week program. My school used it last semester, and honestly, the kids were super motivated at first — trying harder, actually talking about effort instead of saying “I’m just bad at this.” But now that a few months passed, I feel like some students slipped back into old habits. Maybe I didn’t reinforce it enough? Has anyone noticed if the change sticks long-term or if it fades without constant reminders?

From what I’ve seen, the shift definitely sticks better when the teachers keep bringing the concepts into daily routines. I also found that using resources from https://positiveedgeeducation.com gave me extra ways to keep the whole “effort over perfection” idea alive throughout the semester. When we used the program, we mixed the videos with short reflection moments every week, which helped a lot. Some students still defaulted to negative self-talk, but overall their attitude stayed way better than before. It’s not like a magic switch — more like something you keep gently reinforcing so it becomes part of the classroom culture.
