GROWTH VS FIXED MINDSET

• “IN A GROWTH MINDSET, PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT THEIR MOST BASIC ABILITIES CAN BE DEVELOPED THROUGH DEDICATION AND HARD WORK—BRAINS AND TALENT ARE JUST THE STARTING POINT. THIS VIEW CREATES A LOVE OF LEARNING AND A RESILIENCE THAT IS ESSENTIAL FOR GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT,” WRITES DWECK.
• ACCORDING TO DWECK, “IN A FIXED MINDSET, PEOPLE BELIEVE THEIR BASIC QUALITIES, LIKE THEIR INTELLIGENCE OR TALENT, ARE SIMPLY FIXED TRAITS. THEY SPEND THEIR TIME DOCUMENTING THEIR INTELLIGENCE OR TALENT INSTEAD OF DEVELOPING THEM. THEY ALSO BELIEVE THAT TALENT ALONE CREATES SUCCESS—WITHOUT EFFORT.”

What does this look like in the classroom?

• Establish high expectations (not just high standards)
• Praising effort
• Emphasize challenge not just success
• Give a sense of progress
• Long Term Success
• Create a risk-tolerant learning zone.
• Let your students know that you value challenge-seeking, learning, and effort above perfect performance, and that the amount of progress they make individually is more important than how they compare to others. Make it clear that mistakes are to be expected and that we can all learn from them
• Give feedback that focuses on process
• The things students can control, like their effort, challenge-seeking, persistence, and good strategies--not on their personal traits or abilities. Avoid praising children for their "smartness," and instead help them understand the importance of their own actions in achieving success.
