Title: Understanding Mindsets


1
Understanding Mindsets
  • The New Psychology of Success
  • By Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D.

2
Commit to Engage Yourself
  • Robert Sternberg writes
  • The major factor in whether people achieve
    expertise is not some fixed prior ability, but
    purposeful engagement.
  • Its not always the people who start out the
    smartest who end up the smartest. Alfred
    Binet

3
What is the Fixed Mindset?
  • Believing that your qualities are carved in
    stone.
  • Page 6

4
What is The Growth Mindset?
  • Based on the belief that your basic qualities are
    things you can cultivate through your efforts.

5
Fixed or Growth?
  • Group Discussion

6
Cherished Qualities can be Developed
  • The passion for stretching yourself and sticking
    to it, even (or especially) when its not going
    well, is the hallmark of the growth mindset.
    This mindset allows people to thrive during the
    most challenging times in their lives.

7
Character, Heart, Will, the Mind of a Champion
  • The will to practice, dig down, pull it out
    when you most need it.

8
  • I derive just as much happiness from the process
    as from the results. I dont mind losing as long
    as I see improvement or I feel Ive done as well
    as I possibly could. If I lose, I just go back
    to the track and work some more.
  • Jackie Joyner-Kersee

9
Taking Charge of Success
  • People with a growth mindset take charge of the
    processes that bring success.
  • Michael Jordans skill didnt seem to decline
    with age. He did lose some stamina and agility,
    but to compensate he worked even harder on
    conditioning and on his moves.
  • He came into the league as a slam-dunker and
    left as the most complete player ever to grace
    the game.

10
Fixed Mindset
  • For those with a fixed mindset, success is about
    establishing their superiority. Being that
    somebody who is worthier than the nobodies. When
    they fail they blame outside forces.

11

Teachers Parents can send Growth or Fixed
Mindset Messages
  • Praising childrens intelligence can harm their
    motivation and performance.
  • Children love praise but the minute they hit a
    snag, their confidence goes out the window and
    their motivation hits rock bottom. If success
    means theyre smart, then failure means theyre
    dumb. This is the Fixed Mindset. (There is no
    room for failure)

14
Celebrate Effort
  • Teach children to love challenges, be intrigued
    by mistakes, enjoy effort, and keep on learning.
  • Children dont have to be slaves of praise and
    will have a lifelong way to build repair their
    own confidence.

15
Praise a Students Growth-Oriented Efforts
Achievements
  • Make Statements That Admire Efforts
  • You really worked hard and your improvement
    shows.
  • I liked the way you tried all kinds of
    strategies.
  • Everyone learns in a different way. Lets keep
    trying to find the way that works for you.
  • You read the material over carefully and your
    comprehension strategies really worked!
  • I like the way you took on that challenging
    project for your science project!

16
Teachers with a Fixed Mindset
  • They think of themselves as finished products.
  • They feel their role is to impart their
    knowledge.
  • They worry about their fixed traits documenting
    them sometimes at others expense.
  • They are judgmental and dont believe in
    improvement.
  • They stereotype students into the bright and
    the not so bright groups.

17
Growth Mindset Teachers
  • They love to learn and are fascinated with the
    process of learning.
  • They love teaching because they want to help
    others learn.
  • They set high standards for all their students,
    not just the ones who are already achieving.
  • They give constructive criticism feedback so
    students can improve.

18
Growth Mindset in Your Classroom
  • At your table share your experiences with
    students who have experienced a growth mindset.
