The Impact of Improving Positive and Constructive Attitudes on Motivation to Succeed, Work Ethic, and Relationships

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the investment put into Morning Meeting (and other socioemotional curriculums) could significantly promote a child’s growth. The Fountas and Pinnell Benchmark Assessment was given in order to assess the child’s growth as well as a Growth mindset pre- and post-survey. Each of these measures evaluated the students’ academic performance and their ability to accept challenges to grow. In conclusion to the research, findings of significant academic advances were discovered when Morning Meetings were consistently included throughout the students’ learning day.
