Inspiration In The Classrooms
It was almost time for standardized testing for an Evergreen Avenue Elementary in Woodbury, New Jersey, and the students were getting nervous. Chandi Langford, the fifth grade teacher, decided she needed to do something. She began an initiative called #growthmindset messages, where she wrote inspiring messages on her students’ desks. The messages said things like: “I’m not telling you it’s going to be easy, but it’s going to be worth it!” and “Remember, never stop trying, and never stop growing your brain!”
