Best Practices
As you Finish Strong with 7 Mindsets this school year, a best practice is to recognize and celebrate your success. Here are some of our favorite ideas and activities.
- Mindset Motivator: This award can be used for staff members or students that show they are living the mindsets. Download the set of Mindset Motivator certificates here.
- Mindsets Matter: Students choose and illustrate their favorite mindset. Hang these posters in a common area.
- Teacher Awards Ceremony: Hosting a teacher awards ceremony is an easy and effective way to build staff morale and community. This can be done at the end of the year, end of a semester, during teacher appreciation week, or during a time when your staff is just in need of a good laugh! Give away funny awards like “The Copier Jam Award,” “The Teacher Face Award,” and/or “The Caffeine Addict Award.” Create awards that are fitting for your staff. Keep it light and have fun!

School Spotlight
Wauseon High School – Wauseon, Ohio
A focus on Youth Voice this school year has empowered students to lead and grow through the 7 Mindsets at Wauseon High School. To kickoff year three as a 7 Mindsets school, teachers identified student leaders who participated in a training with a 7 Mindsets coach, and the students now lead and facilitate the weekly lessons in the classroom. One staff member shared that equipping students to help lead the lessons “is the best thing we could have done.”
Wauseon High School also started a Student of the Month program this year to celebrate students positively impacting the school culture. Each month, teachers nominate students who embrace the 7 Mindsets and apply it to their lives through their actions and words.
