To encourage a growth mindset teach flexibility, be adaptive, show excitement in learning (think Where do I want to go? and How do I get there?), embrace failure and learning from mistakes. Learning is something that happens through us, not to us. As principals we need to model the growth mindset for our teacher and teachers for their students. What I find so difficult are those teachers who are truly unwilling to jump on board with new ideas- who believe that education should be the same as it has always been. These teachers with a fixed mindset, I'm finding, are the most challenging to work with.

I scooped this article because it pertains to growth mindset, and it also presents the topic from the teacher perspective and also the student perspective. This particular article breaks apart four different areas of growth mindset, and breaks it down. I hope that teachers and students can read through this article, even if it's just parts of it at a time, and start to explore the idea of growth mindset, and how to cultivate their own mindset to that of growth. |
