What’s your mindset?
Not my typical social media post…We are eight weeks into a new year and the first reports have gone home to parents. So, it is time to work with the kids who are struggling. More often than not, I find that how students respond to challenges in my class does correspond to their mindset. If you have not read any of Carol Dweck’s work, I highly recommend it. This blog post does a great job breaking down her analysis of fixed vs. growth mindsets…nice graphics too. I wonder how many teachers know of her research or agree with her findings?
