Mindset: Moving Students from a Fixed to a Growth Mindset
Mindset: Moving Students from a Fixed to a Growth Mindset
Students sometimes fail because they are convinced that they have a set amount of intelligence that cannot change: “I’m just no good at math” or “I don’t have a way with languages.” Stanford psychology professor Carol Dweck, in her book Mindset, shows how we can foster student success by helping them move from a fixed to a growth mindset, to the idea that their intelligence can and will grow. In this FLC we will read Mindset and related texts with the aim of making our classrooms a place where a growth mindset is fostered.
