What are Growth Mindsets?
• The idea comes from the research of the psychologist Carol Dweck. A mindset is simply a belief – a belief about yourself and your most fundamental qualities like ability, faith (or lack of it), personality, political views, talent and so on. To put it another way, a mindset is a way of thinking about something concerning yourself. Students have mindsets. They bring these to school with them. They can be growth or fixed.

Moving away from trait based praise…
• That’s great.
• Super work.
• It’s wrong.
• You’re a genius.
• You don’t get it.
That’s great because you went through three attempts first, before settling on the one which works best. •Super work – I can see how you changed your thinking in response to the challenge. •It’s wrong – can you tell me why? Talk me through what you think. •You’ve produced something really impressive because of the effort you put in over the fortnight. •You don’t get it yet, have you tried… © 2016 Mike Gershon
