CPD - Mindset - 12/10/15

Aim: To outline a few pedagogical implications of mindset theory and routes towards nurturing growth mindsets

Key points



  • Key phrase from kids: "I'm not smart". Response: "Become smarter through learning".
  • What individuals believe about concept of ability is more important than 'ability' itself
  • Meaningful success requires effort
  • (perfect) practice makes perfect --> OR practice until you cannot get it wrong!!
  • Motivating students.... Intrinsic: doing something for the thing itself - a focus on process
  • Keywords: drive and curiosity 
  • Praise... Good EFFORT rather than good WORK
  • Students to self-monitor their own work --> they have to do the work = most effective feedback
To do

  • Reinforce students seeking challenges... Create worksheets to challenge pupils (as extension tasks?)
  • Look into mindset stickers
  • Trying out meta starters/mains/desserts:
