Navigator Toolkit
The toolkit is designed to support postsecondary advising practitioners in identifying ways to implement growth mindset, purpose and relevance, or sense of belonging practices into their programming.
Resources are added to the toolkit regularly as new practices from high-quality research are identified. We welcome suggestions and submission of case studies to be included in future updates of the toolkit, as well as comments or questions. Please email Terra Browne, terra.browne@virginia.edu.
