  7. We’re looking to recognize people for contributions that suggest a growth mindset – the idea that intelligence can be developed – and for positive contributions to our school community. The following types of things are what we’re looking to celebrate: • Embracing challenges • Facing an obstacle and overcoming it • Demonstrating concentrated effort • Using negative feedback to improve • Supporting or embracing the success of someone else • Focusing on the process of learning or achieving something • Improving • Showing concern for others • Helping to improve our school community in some way large or small Feel free to be creative with your ideas and the name of the award. For example, you might offer a “Personification of Compassion Award” for someone who has shown extraordinary concern for others or you might go with a more straight-forward “Do Gooder Award” for someone who helped to build a more positive community. The name is obviously not as important as the description of what the person did. The best recognition will be genuine, thoughtful, and specific.
