Later, the same teachers were asked to rate the importance of various factors in the classroom, including growth mindset, motivation, engagement, and home life. The majority of the teachers rated growth mindset less important than motivation and engagement. Another survey asked the teachers to rate the importance of the tenets of growth mindset and they rated having the ability to learn from failure as highly important. There appears to be a disconnect in the way the teachers view growth mindset and the way it’s put into practice. ]]> 2020-06-14 21:31:57 UTC https://padlet.com/kw132/g87o7pxj9diuctfw/wish/626385929 kw132 https://padlet.com/kw132/g87o7pxj9diuctfw/wish/626386390 Cultivating a growth mindset can help teachers embrace changes in procedures and best practices. A supportive network can help mitigate the turbulence that follows the  disruption of an old system. Leaders who respond to the needs of their specific staff and bring in experts that provide more intimate professional development will help teachers adjust to change. Follow through is important for achieving actual growth. Changing a system doesn’t always equal growth unless a clear path to success is laid. ]]> 2020-06-14 21:32:34 UTC https://padlet.com/kw132/g87o7pxj9diuctfw/wish/626386390 kw132 https://padlet.com/kw132/g87o7pxj9diuctfw/wish/626386800

“Fixed mindset people dread failure, feeling that it reflects badly upon themselves as individuals, while growth mindset people instead embrace failure as an opportunity to learn and improve their abilities.”

“According to Dweck, when we give praise to students (which we, as teachers often do, in order to build self-esteem and encourage students) for how clever they are, we might actually be encouraging them to develop a fixed mindset - which might limit their learning potential. On the other hand, if we praise students for the hard work and the process that they’ve engaged in, then that helps to develop a growth potential.”

“Dweck’s research is applicable to all people, not just students. Therefore, school leaders could ask themselves what effect might developing a growth mindset amongst staff have upon learning in a school?”

This is a little more direct than the other resources but this offers suggestions of activities to do with preschool learners that will build about their natural fascination with growth and change. Perhaps, cultivating many experiences that show natural growth as children themselves are growing will help shape a positive reaction to growth and change later in life. 

Perhaps building more concrete experiences that play of children’s natural curiosities and wonderings will support a growth mindset.
