Growing with positive thinking.
The mission of the Learning Seminar course is to empower middle school students to achieve academic success by teaching the benefits of having a positive mindset, using strategies to learn, and engaging in self-reflection. Using Carol Dweck’s research promoting a positive mindset and incorporating components of the Brainology program, students become aware of their own ability to grow as learners and take ownership of their education. In addition, the MS Academic Support office has chosen the SMARTS program to teach students about the importance of executive functioning in learning.
