Ms Hawkin

A Fixed or Growth Mindset? Mindset Fixed Growth Your belief is… intelligence is a fixed trait intelligence is cultivated through learning Your priority is to… look clever, not unintelligent become more intelligent through learning You feel clever when… achieving easy, low effort successes and outperforming others You avoid… engaging fully with new tasks, exerting effort, stretching and applying skills effort, difficulty, setbacks, easy, previously mastered higher-performing peers tasks

Looking Intelligent Vs Learning Fixed Mindset Student “The main thing I want when I do my schoolwork is to show good I am at it. ” Growth Mindset Student “It’s more important for me to learn things in my classes than it is to get the best grades. ”

Three mindset myths �Natural ability/talent doesn’t exist �Natural ability/talent doesn’t matter �Hard work guarantees success

A mantra “Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard. ”

The Power of … “Yet”
