This growth mindset is based on the belief that your basic qualities are things you can cultivate through your efforts. "(Dweck.)
2."Believing that your qualities are carved in stone—the fixed mindset—creates an urgency to prove yourself over and over. If you have only a certain amount of intelligence, a certain personality, and a certain moral character—well, then you’d better prove that you have a healthy dose of them. It simply wouldn’t do to look or feel deficient in these most basic characteristics."(Dweck.)

2.)Dweck's argument is to encourage children to challenge themselves and to not praise them for doing what is expected. Dweck also argues that people who are unwilling to challenge themselves have a fixed mindset and that people who are have a growth mindset. 
3.) Dweck makes a valid point by saying that people need to be more conditioned to be pushed out of their comfort zones instead of being kept in their comfort zones. Being in what she calls the "Growth Mindset" can help people to want to challenge themselves.

prove yourself over and over. If you have only a certain amount of intelligence, a certain
personality, and a certain moral character—well, then you’d better prove that you have a
healthy dose of them."
2.  It's important for children to know that growth isn't linear and with hard work and dedication you can expand your qualities. Parents should balance out praise and push kids out of their comfort zone.
3. I agree because you should grow and push yourself to become the best version of yourself. Kids need to persevere because their parents won't always be able to help them in the real world.  ]]> 2020-08-28 15:44:34 UTC https://padlet.com/edevereaux/rby7ueh2b58rc20i/wish/705291973 Breakout Room #3 https://padlet.com/edevereaux/rby7ueh2b58rc20i/wish/705292289 [1] "Believing that your qualities are carved in stone—the fixed mindset—creates an urgency to
prove yourself over and over" (Dweck 3). "This growth mindset is based on the belief that your basic
qualities are things you can cultivate through your efforts" (Dweck 4). "You can see how the belief that cherished qualities can be developed creates a passion for learning" (Dweck 4). 
[2] What matters most when learning is that we acquire knowledge from our mistakes and persevere through challenges with an optimistic outlook. We have the choice of a pessimistic fixed mindset, or we can achieve greater things in life by practicing an optimistic growth mindset.
[3] We feel that the point Dweck is making is understandable. Children have to be able to learn skills that they can develop as they grow. Parents will not be there their whole life to help them, so they should at least teach their children something that they can always refer back to.

well, is the hallmark of the growth mindset. This is the mindset that allows people to thrive
during some of the most challenging times in their lives" (Dweck 4)
2. Everyone develops different mentalities as they grow and mature. Some people may have endured and confronted challenges that have conditioned their mindset to react in a certain way, while others, not having encountered these challenges, find themselves lost and seeking validation. 
3. In our opinion, there must exist a balance between validation and growth. Our goal must not be to constantly seek out validation and make it our top priority, but it is valuable for us to continue to nurture and grow.

"Although people may differ in every which way initial talents, interests, or temperaments everyone can change and grow through application and experience"
2.)People with a growth mindset are more open to failure and second tries. They don't let the stress get to them and give up after making a mistake.
3.)I agree 100% with this statement because it is important to also take a break and not get overwhelmed with stress if you are not succeeding in something after giving multiple tries and just maybe try a different method to learn.]]> 2020-08-28 15:45:03 UTC https://padlet.com/edevereaux/rby7ueh2b58rc20i/wish/705293479 Breakout room #2 https://padlet.com/edevereaux/rby7ueh2b58rc20i/wish/705294219 1.) "People may start with different temperaments and different aptitudes, butit is clear that experience, training, and personal effort take them the rest of the way….its not always the people who start out the smartest who end the smartest" (Dweck, Page 2).
2.)  I think Dweck is trying to say that people learn at different rates and it doesn’t matter who is better at what, it depends on the amount of effort you put in and that you know you tried your best. The author makes a compelling argument, taking to account that people possess stronger qualities than others but yet one’s ability to succeed and grow comes from determination and experience.
3.) I feel like that is very good advice because people need to be validated; they need to know that how they’re learning is okay and there is no “right way” of learning.]]> 2020-08-28 15:45:17 UTC https://padlet.com/edevereaux/rby7ueh2b58rc20i/wish/705294219 Breakout Room #7 https://padlet.com/edevereaux/rby7ueh2b58rc20i/wish/705294357 1. "You can see how the belief that cherished qualities can be developed creates a passion for
learning. Why waste time proving over and over how great you are, when you could be
getting better?"
2. People tend to be passionate about certain subjects, which enables them to want to learn and understand more. Individuality plays a great role in success because it is difficult to be good at something you are not passionate about.
3. I agree with this statement because the more I learn and am able to comprehend something, I tend to develop a better knowledge about what I am passionate about.]]> 2020-08-28 15:45:20 UTC https://padlet.com/edevereaux/rby7ueh2b58rc20i/wish/705294357
