Interesting perspective on how DP's can enable students to consider their growth over time as they apply to post-secondary studies. Interesting questions for the admin & education system as a whole to consider in the big picture outlook on this tool.

  The parent perspective is key part of a meaningful conversation on mindset, especially in the learning environment. Trying to shift the focus away from marks alone -- towards the effort, energy and experience of learning is significant. It is also not easy.
