Growth Mindset
Personal & Social Development · Self-Regulation & Resilience · conceptual
Understand the concept of a growth mindset — that abilities and intelligence can grow with effort, practice, and good strategies — as opposed to a fixed mindset where you believe you're either good at something or you're not
What mastery looks like
- Explain the difference between growth mindset and fixed mindset in their own words
- Use 'yet' language when describing something they find difficult
- Give an example of something they got better at through practice and effort
Check your understanding
When Growth Mindset finds something difficult like learning to ride a bike or mastering times tables, do they say 'I can't do it YET' rather than 'I'm just not good at this'?
