When students learn, that intelligence is expandable - that the brain responds dramatically to effort, reflection, and practice - they begin to embrace new challenges, and overcome fear of failure.

Discover neuroscience lessons that... Inspire students to embrace academic challenges, and believe in their potential for intellectual growth. Motivate teachers to create an enriched, challenging academic environment, and discover its impact on learning. Provide a message of hope: "If you embrace challenges, give your best effort, and practice - you will grow in intelligence. We all have the potential to grow a better brain".
