  9. Fixed Mindset (Entity Theory) • Either I am smart or I am not. • One is born with a certain amount of intelligence. • Smart is making no mistakes, going fast, and about the outcome being perfect. • Failure is not an outcome, it is an identity. • If I fail, people may realize I was/am an imposter, and I am not as good as they think I am. • So if I fail, I might not just be judged, but I might also be unworthy of love. Implicit Personality TheoryDr. Carol S. DweckStanford Univeristy

  10. Growth Mindset (Incremental Theory) • A belief that effort is a positive, constructive force. • Development and progress is important – not just the product or achievement. • One can substantially change, stretch, and grow, and that is desirable. • Brains can become “bigger.” Challenge is good! • Being on a learning edge is the smart thing to do. Implicit Personality TheoryDr. Carol S. DweckStanford Univeristy

  11. Fixed Mindset Growth Mindset As a result, they may plateau early and achieve less than their full potential. As a result, they reach ever-higher levels of achievement

  12. Why Is It Hard to Promote a Growth Mindset? • Larger society has said for a long time that, “Success is about being more gifted than others, that failure does measure you, and that effort is for those who can’t make it on talent.” • We don’t talk about vulnerability and struggle as good things. We are an instant-success society. Good job! Great! Way to go! • We have told our students they can be anything they want to be, and that is simply not the whole truth! • The media gives us an unrealistic view of success with all the “instant stars.” (Reality TV, etc.) • It is hard to work with an individual who is struggling or trying to cope. • We don’t value and acknowledge risk-taking enough. Do We HAVE to Do This? What Research Tells Us About Student Motivation Presentation by Debbie Silver, Ed.D. http://web.dexter.k12.mi.us/~millcreek/mamse2010/MCMAMSE/Resources_Pg1_files/ Do%20We%20HAVE%20to%20Do%20This_%20%20Student%20Motivation.pdf

  13. Self, Students, Classroom, School Think about each of these contexts….. Recall expressions of fixed or growth mindset.

  14. Helping Kids Grow Their Mindsets • Strive to deliver the message, “You’re a developing person, and I’m interested in your development.” NOT “You have permanent traits, and I’m judging them.” • Remember that praising children’s intelligence or talent sends a fixed-mindset message. • Focus on the processes they used – their strategies, effort, or choices. • Remember that constructive criticism is feedback that helps the child understand how to fix something. It’s not feedback that labels or simply excuses the child. • Help children set goals. Remember that having innate talent is not a goal. Expanding skills and knowledge is. • Lowering standards does NOT raise a student’s self-esteem. Neither does raising standards without giving students ways of reaching them. • Great teachers believe in the growth of talent and intellect and are fascinated by the process of learning.

  15. School Messages That Promote aGrowth Mind-Set • We believe in your potential and are committed to helping everyone get smarter. • We value (and praise) taking on challenges, exerting effort, and surmounting obstacles more than we value (and praise) “natural” talent and easy success. • Working hard to learn new things makes you smarter—it makes your brain grow new connections. • School is not a place that judges you. It is a place where people help your brain grow new connections. From Mind-Sets & Equitable Education by Carol Dweck http://www.principals.org/portals/0/content/61209.pdf
