Social-Emotional Learning

Expanding Student Expectations

The Everything Is Possible mindset teaches that we are all capable of living extraordinary lives.


Students learn that everything which exists today was once just an idea until someone believed it was possible and took the actions to make it into reality. This is true with each of our lives as well – they become, in many ways, whatever we expect them to be.

Activities you can do at home to instill an Everything Is Possible mindset:


1. Personal Mission Statement - link

2. Defining My Why - link

3. My Dream Statements - link

4. Overcoming my Challenges - link
