Growth Mindset is a philosophy that is incredibly important as teachers and parents work together to help children be successful in all areas of life.
Learn more about Growth Mindset from Professor Carol Dweck who is one of the world's leading researchers on motivation and mindsets. Her work focuses on why people succeed and how it is possible to foster their success. In the context of education, Dr. Dweck has sought to understand why some students give up in the face of failure, while others thrive. Over the past three decades, her research has shown that the way students think about intelligence and their ability affects their motivation and achievement in school. Moreover, this work has demonstrated that it is possible to change students' mindsets in ways that have a lasting impact on their academic trajectories.
