Whenever you fail at something, and you hear your inner voice say something negatively. For example, "I knew I couldn't do it. I don’t know why I tried". Listen to it so that you can change your thoughts.  You must create an environment where you can acknowledge and embrace your imperfections. 

You have two choices: to remain in a fixed mindset or to embrace growth. Choose a growth mindset. Remember, growth kills fear. When you face challenges or setbacks, it's important to keep trying and learn from each experience. Each failure is an opportunity to gain insight and improve. In a district you could, Use open-ended questions during training sessions to encourage staff to explore different solutions and approaches.

After embracing failures and choosing growth, change your thought process. Instead of "I couldn't do it. I don’t know why I tried", say something like, "This is only a minor setback, for a major comeback". You must Cultivate a Sense of Purpose. In a district you could have educators connect their professional development activities to real-world challenges and practice talking back positively. 

After changing your thought process to a growth mindset, that is when you take action. In a district you could Foster collaboration among educators through projects that allows educators to learn from each other and provide constructive feedback on instructional practices.
