Keep trying when something feels hard — making mistakes and trying again is how learning happens

Mastery Evidence

  • Keep working on a difficult task for a sustained period without giving up or asking someone else to do it
  • After making a mistake, try again with a different approach rather than saying 'I can't do it'
  • Talk about difficulty positively — e.g. 'This is hard but I'm getting better' rather than 'I'm no good at this'

Assessment Prompt
