"How to Help Students Focus on Learning Instead of Their Grades"

In this piece from Berkley's Greater Good Magazine, the author unpacks the significance of steering students' attention toward learning rather than solely fixating on grades. That subtle but difficult shift can make the act of discovery a reward in and of itself. This perspective is closely aligned with the essence of entrepreneurial mindset education, which champions growth, creativity, and intrinsic motivation.

As educators gear up for a new academic year, embedding these concepts can enrich the educational journey, equipping students with the skills and mindset needed for future endeavors.

"New Business Building: A Winning Strategy in Uncertain Times"

McKinsey's exploration of developing new businesses during times of economic instability, which in turn can lead to thriving amidst uncertainty, emphasizes the importance of agility and innovation—key tenets of the entrepreneurial mindset. In this thought-provoking article, we learn about five archetypes McKinsey has identified from newly emerging successful businesses. Things like leveraging automation and service-minded value creation are cornerstones of the article's point, but also of the entrepreneurial mindset that ELI is working to promote in the world.

But, these archetypes are not only relevant economically.

By instilling these qualities in students, we can prepare them to navigate and excel in a rapidly changing world. As the school year approaches, educators can adopt these strategies to cultivate dynamic, resilient learning environments that foster creativity and adaptability in their students.
