What is Growth Mindset?
Growth mindset is the idea that, with effort, it's possible to increase intelligence levels, talents, and abilities. Students who demonstrate a growth mindset believe their abilities develop over time, tend to seek out opportunities to gain new knowledge and broaden their skills, and do not typically shy away from challenges (Kazakoff & Mitchell, 2017).
- Students with a growth mindset believe that intelligence can be developed. These students focus on learning over just looking smart, see effort as the key to success, and thrive in the face of a challenge.
- Students with a fixed mindset believe that people are born with a certain amount of intelligence, and they can’t do much to change that. These students focus on looking smart over learning, see effort as a sign of low ability, and wilt in the face of a challenge.

Letter From Teacher
Meet Mrs. Doyle!
Hello! I am so excited to be your child's fourth grade teacher this year! I am a Colorado native and I am living my dream job! My hobbies include taking pictures, baking, camping, fishing, snowmobiling, and exploring! My husband, Mike, is also a teacher. We have a Bernadoodle named Maggie who gives us so much joy! 🙂 When I'm in the classroom, I believe that students need to be having FUN! My goal for students is to have a smile on their face when they leave, and be excited to come back to school in the morning. I also set high expectations for my students because I believe they are fully capable of reaching them. In regards to behavior management, I strongly believe in set procedures to help students understand what is expected. Parent and teacher teamwork is another huge priority of mine. I love partnering with you to make sure I know as much as I can about your child and that we are doing what is best for him/her. As always, email me with any questions and concerns, and I'm looking forward to an amazing year!
