  1. Mindset

  2. What is mindset? • Why brains and talent don’t bring success (and how they actually stand in the way of it!) • Why praising brains and talent doesn’t foster self-esteem and accomplishment, but jeopardizes them • How teaching a simple idea about the brain can improve students learning and achievement The right mindset can create motivation and productivity in the worlds of business, education, and sports and can help enhance and develop positive relationships. A simple idea with profound consequences that offers an explanation into:

  3. A fixed mindset Believes that… • ability (talent, intelligence) is fixed • talent/intelligence determines potential • success and failure are measures of self-worth Therefore… • seek tasks where success is guaranteed • seek feedback on work as personal criticism • resist effort (effort + failure = humilation)

  4. Low Effort Syndrome “…low effort syndrome is often seen as a way that adolescents assert their independence from adults, but it is also a way that students with a fixed mindset protect themselves. They view adults as saying, “Now we will measure you and see what you’ve got.” And they are answering, “No you won’t’.” (Dweck, 2006)

  5. A growth mindset Believes that… • ability (talent, intelligence) can be increased with effort • strategic effort determines potential • failure and struggle are necessary to maximize learning Therefore… • seek challenges and feedback • apply effort to learning tasks • persist in the face of setbacks

  6. Fixed or Growth? • The statements provided are related to teaching and learning. • Sort the statements into those that represent a fixed-mindset and those that represent a growth mindset. • Be prepared to explain your thinking.

  7. Developing the growth mindset in students Avoid praising talent, intelligence or smarts. Help students set learning goals that focus on acquiring or developing skills Provide students with feedback that helps them understand how to improve and give them time to use it De-emphasize the importance of evaluative feedback. Praise and reward the process of learning that leads to achievement Make the value of mistakes, struggle and challenge visible to students. Teach students about the mindset; emphasize the values of a growth mindset

  8. Next Steps • What examples of fixed and growth mindsets have you observed in your classes? • What specific actions could you take in your classes to help students maintain a growth mindset?

  9. “Lowering standards doesn’t raise students’ self-esteem. But neither does raising standards without giving students ways of reaching them.” (Dweck 2006)
