Why is Strengths-based education important? Conscious effort is needed to develop strengths. Consciously growing one’s strengths is a reflection of growth mindset. Growth mindset focuses on hard work to acquire new skills and knowledge and grow one’s intelligences (talents) into long-lasting strengths, which in turn, are associated to better motivation, higher grades, and improved test cores. As with strengths building, the nurturing of growth mindsets in both students and staff is an effort which required the support of all stakeholders.
How are strengths identified and developed? Strengths development involves a five-step process: • Identifying and measuring talents and strengths using either a formal survey or a
strengths identification process • Personalizing instruction based on each student’s strengths as well as his or her needs • Building a partnership among students, staff, families, and community members that will
support and reinforce strengths-building in a variety of contexts • Applying strengths-based approaches in and out of school • Intentionally develop strengths through unique experiences and focused practices

1."My school is committed to building the strengths of each student."
2. "I have at least one teacher who makes me excited about the future."
