One lingering question I have is would it be beneficial to start each year with a strong focus on growth mindset? I am thinking of something along the lines of an early lesson/activity/project the first week of school that's goal is to talk and learn about having a growth mindset. We always stress about not having enough days to fit everything in by the end of the year, so it could be hard to find the proper amount of time for this.

Are the scores and grades we give students on their assignments/tests detrimental to their ability to become students with growth mindsets?

2. How do I get students who are "stuck" in a fixed mindset to change their way of thinking to focus more on a growth mindset?

# data[].attributes.body
1. The power of "yet". The more we finish our sentences with yet, the more students will be able to go from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset.

2. We need to stop identifying our accomplishments as "natural abilities" or "talents" and focus more on the process of learning and not expect ourselves to "just know it".

3. We need to reward ourselves with the process rather than the end result. It is so hard to not focus on the end goal. Instead we need to focus on the accomplishments along the way, even though it may be hard to do so.

3. Words are powerful! Teach students to use the word "yet" Model this language in your classroom.

2. Past middle school math teachers experiences with implementing growth mindset. I would be curious to learn about the failures, the student reactions, and how a math department had a consistent growth mindset outlook.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Growth Mindset can be applied to more than education.  Growth Mindset can be a way of life - encouraging a more positive outlook on all scenarios and situations.
2. Process Over Perfection [clapping emoji]. The process of getting to the goal is more important than completing/achieving the goal. Did you work hard to get to your goal? Thomas Edison found 10,000 ways not to make a lightbulb that helped him find the one way that worked. If he didn't have that process of 10,000 wrong lightbulbs, his one lightbulb would not have felt like such an achievement.
3. Teachers are more likely to believe that students can change their behavior than students are. Growth mindset is a tool we can use to help students believe in themselves and their ability to change the outlook of their education.

How do you foster and maintain a growth mindset with children who live in an environment with a parent who has a fixed mindset?

# data[].attributes.body
1.  A fixed mindset brain and a growth mindset brain look very different.  A growth mindset brain has neurons connecting because it is facing the challenge and not running away from it.
2.  Teachers who have a true growth mindset, believe that each and every child has the potential to succeed.
3. The process and effort is the part that needs the praise, not the outcome and achievement.
