Nurture a Growth Mindset 

Help your Husky persist and thrive when encountering challenges

Fixed Mindset v. Growth Mindset

I believe that my [intelligence, personality, character] is inherent and static. Locked-down or fixed. My potential is determined at birth. It doesn’t change.

I believe that my [intelligence, personality, character] can be continuously developed. My true potential is unknown and unknowable.

Fixed Mindset

Growth Mindset

Avoid failure

Desire to look smart

Avoids challenges

Stick to what they know

Feedback and criticism is personal

They don’t change or improve

Desire continuous learning

Confront uncertainties

Embracing challenges

Not afraid to fail

Put lots of effort to learn

Feedback is about current capabilities

Based on the work of Dr. Carol Dweck

Encourage a growth mindset

​

• When your student experiences a challenge, ask about their process (how they studied) rather than just the outcome (the grade)
• How do you feel the test went?
• Who did you study with? How did that go?
• Did you try tutoring or talking to your TA/professor?
• What did you do to prepare?
• Normalize failure, share your own experiences!�

Growth Mindset

​

​

How has someone in your life promoted growth mindset for you? What did they say or do?
