Help your students learn how to cope when they make a mistake with this social story mini-book.
Let’s Be Social – Stories for the Classroom
In recent times, teaching students to develop a growth mindset has become a huge focus for teachers. Helping students develop the necessary skills and strategies to cope with mistakes has become an integral part of our students’ social-emotional education.
Teach Starter has created a printable mini-book to help your students learn how to cope when they don’t get the right answer. Each page is designed in a simple manner with real-life photographs to help students make connections and understand the examples. In this mini-book, students will learn important points such as:
- It is okay to get answers wrong. Everybody makes mistakes.
- I can learn new things from my mistakes.
- My teacher and my friends can help me.
The last page of the mini-book also poses a question with three picture choices for students to choose from as their answer.
Multiple Applications for This Growth Mindset Mini-Book
This social narrative story can be used in a variety of different ways with your students. It could be used as a:
- whole-class lesson (via smartboard)
- collaborative group activity
- targeted teacher-student activity
- take-home resource.
