WHAT IS A MINDSET?

A mental attitude that determines how you will interpret and respond to situations.

WHY IS MINDSET IMPORTANT?

The difference between success and failure is as simple as having a different perspective on intelligence.

WHY SHOULD EDUCATORS UNDERSTAND MINDSET?

Your daily interactions with your students influence and change a student’s mindset.

Page 9: MINDSETS FIXED VS. GROWTH MINDSETS THE NEW PSYCHOLOGY OF SUCCESS.

Page 10: MINDSETS FIXED VS. GROWTH MINDSETS THE NEW PSYCHOLOGY OF SUCCESS.

I BELIEVEHard work is how you become successful.

You can’t really change how intelligent you are.

I compare my score to those of my friends and if theirs are higher, I feel bad.

I haven’t mastered this idea yet.

You can actually get more intelligent over time.

If you have to work hard, you are not very smart.

YOUR MINDSETGROWTH MINDSET

Hard work is how you become successful.

I haven’t mastered this idea yet.

You can actually get more intelligent over time.

When you make a mistake, it means that you have the chance to learn something new.

When someone criticizes me, it means that they think I can do better.

Intelligence may be partly inherited, but it is also strongly influenced by environment.

It’s best to take risks even if you’re not sure you can do it.

I’m always finding opportunities to learn something new.

I like to hear about other people’s successes, because this inspires me.

FIXED MINDSETYou can’t really change how intelligent you are.

I compare my score to those of my friends and if theirs are higher, I feel bad.

If you have to work hard, you are not very smart.

If someone criticizes me, it means that they think I am not good enough.

Some people are just born smart.

It’s best to do the things you know you know how to do.

I’m always being judged and evaluated and I have to appear smart.

Page 12: MINDSETS FIXED VS. GROWTH MINDSETS THE NEW PSYCHOLOGY OF SUCCESS.

FIXED MINDSET

The individual believes that they are born with a predetermined amount of intelligence that is unchangeable.

This person internalizes that without innate ability, or talent, they will not be successful no matter how hard they try.

Page 13: MINDSETS FIXED VS. GROWTH MINDSETS THE NEW PSYCHOLOGY OF SUCCESS.

GROWTH MINDSET

Growth mindset people believe they have the potential to learn new skills and accept that through practice and effort, they can increase their intelligence and confidence will follow.

This person is willing to take risks and look forward to meeting the next challenge.

Carol Dweck - A Study on Praise and Mindsets

Trevor Ragan

Page 17: MINDSETS FIXED VS. GROWTH MINDSETS THE NEW PSYCHOLOGY OF SUCCESS.

CAPSTONE PRESENTATIONPROBLEM:In predominately female classroom, only two of my forty two students plan to teach secondary education, and only one is planning to teach math.

I have also found that while many of my students tend to enroll in liberal arts courses and shy away from advanced mathematics and science courses, as well as AP courses.

Page 18: MINDSETS FIXED VS. GROWTH MINDSETS THE NEW PSYCHOLOGY OF SUCCESS.

CAPSTONE QUESTION

Will teaching a unit on growth versus fixed mindset change students perceptions about their ability to take STEM/ AP courses, and/or pursue teaching at the secondary level?

Page 19: MINDSETS FIXED VS. GROWTH MINDSETS THE NEW PSYCHOLOGY OF SUCCESS.

METHODOLOGY 5 DAY LESSONCreate a five day unit lesson on fixed verses growth mindset.

1. Students will begin the unit by taking a fixed verses growth mindset quiz, and analyzing their results.

2. Students will research how the brain learns.

-Are humans capable of increasing their own

intelligence?

3. Is our success is directly influenced by our mindset?

-Research on personal and environmental

micro messaging and expectations in relation to

individual student success.

4. Activity day- Game stations created to recognize activities that develop a growth mindset.

Page 20: MINDSETS FIXED VS. GROWTH MINDSETS THE NEW PSYCHOLOGY OF SUCCESS.

IN ADDITION TO THE PLAN

1. I will combine the class time with guest speakers who

are popular secondary and college level teachers

2. I will provide STEM and self-interest surveys to help my students identify themselves as a learner.

3. Reflection time.

Page 21: MINDSETS FIXED VS. GROWTH MINDSETS THE NEW PSYCHOLOGY OF SUCCESS.

DATA COLLECTION

TAM Students: I will record the number of AP/ STEM classes that they enrolled in for next year versus what they took last year.

NEUROPLASTICITY OF THE BRAIN

The ability of the brain to change, adapt, and rewire itself throughout our entire life.

Example: Stroke victim.

Teaching the potential of the brain to our students is essential when attempting to shift mindsets.

SUCCESSFUL RESEARCH BASED STRATEGIESTO USE IN THE CLASSROOM.

1. Acknowledge how hard your students have worked rather that how smart they are for getting it right.

2. Teach students that failure, when treated like a temporary setback, leads to greater productivity. Failure is an opportunity to improve upon and develop skills.

3.Opportunities are invitations to grow.

4. Share your own struggles.

5. Consider giving credit for correcting errors on assignments and tests.

6. Praise risk taking, particularly when failure may be the outcome.

7. Be a role model. Step outside of your comfort zone.

BUILD A GROWTH MINDSET INTO YOUR SCHOOL CULTURE

Teach what you have learned today.

Practice what you have learned today.

Reflect on the micromessages that you send to your students.
