Growth mindset is a concept coined by Carolyn Dweck. The idea is that if students believe that their intelligence and ability to succeed is not fixed and embrace challenges, they are more likely to perform better.

When growth mindset interventions are introduced in schools, teachers are often burdened with having to learn a new schedule a new way to interact with their student
I designed a mobile application to help increase access to growth mindset concepts and reduce the load that teachers are required to undertake.
In the first stages of the app, the user can Reflect on your past course performance, Identify skill sets and Learn about growth mindset and effective study habits
After a students upload their assessments they receive their analysis. This is where they are supported to reframe underperformance as an opportunity to grow rather than failure.
Once they've uploaded their assessment, the student would receive further personalized recommendations. Create a strategy using S.M.A.R.T. Goals. Also in order to Increase accountability, they engage in peer check-ins.
