This means that individuals with a growth mindset:

• Are open minded

• Are not scared to change

• Are innovated

• Go out of their comfort zone

• Like new difficulties

  
  

A good example of a person with a growth-mindset it's my grandma. She is very strong minded and she isn't scared of new problems or situations. Instead of focusing on the problem, she looks for a solution.

She always has new ideas, for examples she usually experiments new recipes but they get burned in the oven, but she learns from her errors and now she watches recipes on Youtube.

Everyday she goes out of her comfort zone.

Stereotyping affects people, because you bealive bad things of a certain group that probably aren't even true."

For example:

Racial/Cultural/Gender/Sexuality/Politic stereotypes

Ex: It's not fair to stereotype a whole group of people based on one person you don't like.

Specific example:

Many years ago, I was with my dad and he saw a gothic guy wearing a lot of chains and dressed all black, then he said, "He crearly looks like an homosexual, he looks like a dog with that chains" he said this out loud, obviously with bad intentions.

So, people who dress with black clothes and wears julery are homosexual? Not neccesary

So, people who are part of the LGBTQ+ doesn't deserve respect? No, they deserve the same respect as every human being.

Basically, is judging before even knowing what is going on.

A famous example that I have listened more than once in my life is the one that says that woman doesn't know how to drive. Even I have listened this from female friends and family. But clearly this is fake, people say this because they bealive that woman can't control their emotions, they are sensitive and because since we are children boys play with cars and girls plays with dolls. And most important fact, gender has nothing to do with the way you drive.

Having a growth-mindset could be the solution to overcome stereotypes and biases. This is because:

People with a growth-mindset are OPEN MINDED, for example, when they meet new people who are different from them, they won't habe biases about them. They won't judge before actually know that person.

This made us reflect on the importance of staying open-minded and avoiding unfair judgment. Also, as future teachers, we need to recognize our own biases and support a classroom environment where every student has the opportunity to grow, feel respected, and reach their potential.
