My Philosophies for Failure and Growth Mindset
A growth mindset is a belief that a person’s abilities and intelligence can develop through practice, effort, and perseverance. People with this mindset believe “the sky’s the limit” for what a person can accomplish.
A fixed mindset is the belief that predetermined intelligence and talent alone will lead to success. People with this mindset believe that you are either born with it or not, that these things cannot be developed or improved upon.
- I believe that with a growth mindset any student can achieve his/her goal.
- I feel that it’s important for your child to develop a growth mindset because research has shown that those who have this mindset are more likely to:
o Learn from their mistakes.
o Be motivated to succeed.
o Put forth more effort.
o Take risks.
o Seek and appreciate feedback (whether it is positive or negative).
o Learn more.
- I believe that many children fail because they have a fixed mindset.
- I feel that it’s important for your child to develop a growth mindset because research has shown that those who have a fixed mindset are more likely to:
o Fear failure.
o Give up on tasks they feel are too hard.
o Feel threatened by the success of other students.
o Ignore feedback (even if it’s positive).
