Delores R. Crawford, Principal
Button Gwinnett Elementary School
Hinesville, GA 31313

“During the first year of implementing 7 Mindsets at Button Gwinnett ES, we saw a significant decline in the number of classroom referrals written by teachers. The number of minor incidents decreased by 41% from the 2016-2017 school year to the 2017-2018 school year.”

Educator/Teacher review #2:

Michelle Weber, Principal
Liberty Middle School, Fargo ND (1500 students)

“The time is now, anything is possible when we build up our students and empower them with knowledge and application of the 7 Mindsets. As Carl Jung has said, “The curriculum is so much a necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and soul of the child." The 7 Mindsets builds the young adolescent from the inside out!”

Educator/Teacher review #3:

Amy Hodgson, Educator/Superintendent in Michigan

“It is so powerful to observe the impact of the 7 Mindsets on students. It’s like the veil that is covering the secret to success is lifted, and they begin to realize that it is within their control to choose to embrace these seven mindsets, which will ultimately change the trajectory of their lives.” 

Educator/Teacher review #4:

Beth Eckre, Educator in Fargo North Dakota

“The 7 Mindsets curriculum provides a powerful philosophy with a practical approach to teaching healthy mindsets to our students. Helping students act wisely starts with getting them to think positively and it is inspiring to see the change in our classroom and team when we start to believe and act like everything is possible, like we are connected, with an attitude of gratitude and the other four mindsets. It changes the climate of the classroom and makes it an inspiring and inviting place to be a student AND a teacher!”
