[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I suggest reading Carol Dweck, the researcher and author who coined “growth mindset.” It is the opposite of a fixed mindset, where one believes talent and abilities are innate. Students often think that if they’re not good at something, be it passing a soccer ball or math facts, that they will never be because they weren’t born with that skill. With that attitude, students will never try to learn in the first place. Teaching a growth mindset is simply teaching that skills are obtained through work. If you think that growth mindset = a C+ is good enough, then you misunderstand what it means. [/quote] I guess you didn't read the article. Whether Dweck is right or wrong, schools are not doing it right and probably cannot do it right.[/quote]
