Carol Dweck‘s work on fixed and growth mindsets is incredibly important for educators to understand, as it can help them better support their students. A fixed mindset is one in which an individual believes that their physical body, intelligence, or ability at a certain skill is fixed and limited in how much they can improve. A growth mindset, on the other hand, is one in which an individual believes that their success is determined by the work and strategy that they put into it. As a result of this, having a fixed mindset will lead to negative self–talk and bad decisions, while having a growth mindset leads to positive self–talk and good decisions.
On this episode I’ll be explaining a specific formula that is a variation of Angela Duckworth’s Grit. We’ll look at how a student’s mindset can dictate their inner dialogue which will inevitably determine whether they make good or bad decisions.
By understanding and fostering a growth mindset, teachers can help their students make better decisions, have more positive self–talk, and believe in their own potential.
