The Growth Mindset, An Idea For Success
#whatisschool Thursday October 15, 7PM EDT
Every so often a groundbreaking idea comes along.
This is one of them, Growth Mindset.
This simple idea was discovered by world-renowned
Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck after decades of research on
achievement and success. Dweck determined that in a fixed mindset people
believe their basic qualities, intelligence or talent are fixed traits and that
these traits alone create success without effort. She went on to describe
that 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. So how do we foster a growth mindset in
students?
