Some students rebounded well, while others were derailed by simple setbacks. After extensive research with thousands of students, Dr. Dweck came up with the terms fixed mindset and growth mindset to encapsulate the differences between how all of us think about learning. Simply put, having a growth mindset means you believe that you can and will improve with effort. A fixed mindset, by comparison, means that you believe you have a fixed amount of intelligence or talent that will never change. We all have these two mindsets, but what Dr. Dweck has shown is that students are more likely to succeed once they take on a growth mindset and understand that they can get better at anything with time and effort. Ina fixed mindset, challenges are avoided, criticism is ignored, and students feel threatened by the success of others and are quick to give up when things get hard. Ina growth mindset, mistakes are seen as learning opportunities, challenges are welcomed, and students persevere with effort, leading to a desire to learn even more. Teaching students about a growth mindset and the science behind it, including brain plasticity, has helped countless students to grasp the idea that they can achieve their dreams, no matter their starting points. The activities in this book support the growth-mindset philosophy. With practice and positive reinforcement, students will be able to adopt this flexible, supportive, and uplifting perspective. knowledge is unchanging knowledge can grow #8311 Change Your Mindsetspaunosay po1oss3 1242020 ospuay anog aE [TER “08-6 se6ed uo papnput si zey> suonejaii0 y “{gSD0) spuepuers areas 2103 UOWWOD ays O2 paUBi|e Uaaq aney YOO SILA LI SARIANDE OU IY ‘aed umo 53} aney Jou saop pue Ue|d uossa] auf UO pays st AUIARDe SILL :2I0N “Sulpuesi=pun Jadaap 10 woosssep aya puokag Bulusea] aye3 0 payuasaid st Ayanse UOISUaIx® UY ;puofag Bulmer) 2JUN tp UI pausee| aney Kayp YN UO 3>aYJ21 0} AyUNoddo aya UanIG aye SiUapMIS adwolg joWsNOL “001 ‘saoj32eid pue sajdiouuid yespunu-tymos6 3noge Burueay 404 win403 3>0410d & apinoid sapianze sse|>-2j04m “Jay 7250) Bultueay sayy UO y2aJ94 01 parse sl Sse YL “ANANDY S80/D-2/04M : -Burpuesiapun sadaap e ule 0) ayeioge|jo> pue sdnos6 jjewis ul soyreB on payse ave swuapmas :Ayan>y dno1D OWS “enUeW ayp anoge UOISsNdsIp ssej> 1622} © 403 syuIod Gupjle3 enuarod apinoud pue Bulpuersiapun 410} 24> [JIM 1eUB SuoASAND Jo jnypuey e payse axe swuapMys ‘BuIpeD Jayy e3 -uyeag Aw wren ued | 2% “9se1 yNOYyIp Jo preye 3oU WHE | 2 -ySnoy aie s6ulyp uayma Bulo6 daay ued 26 “sjeo6 Aw ypeas ued |» sBuiyy mau Gulueay jo ajqedeo we | 2% “Wop ue> | anayaq | » “pegpaay jnayGnowy anjea |» “sayerstuy Aww Woy Wea] UL | -eonoeid yum anosduuy ued | “yoy pue auin aow ul 3nd ue> | 2% “suopnjos aagear> yim dn awio> ue> » “ysaq Aus op 1m | 2% :SeRUEW JaspUILU-YMO:5 BuIMO||O} a4 Jo 2u0 Uo pasnoos ypea aze rely SUIUN ZL SAPIAOId YOO si4s ‘WooISseP ay} U!

Read each statement and note whether this is something you always, sometimes, or never do or say. On a separate piece of paper, take notes that might be helpful for your own self-reflection. Always Sometimes Never 1. Lam inspired when others around me succeed. Feel 2. I believe that intelligence can improve. 3. | learn from my mistakes, When things get challenging, | am likely to give up. 5. Ifsomething doesn't work, | try a different strategy. 6. I receive feedback and criticism well. 7. There are some things | am just not good at. [ 8. I set goals and monitor my progress. ] 9. [havea set way of doing things that works for me. 10. Some students just aren't good at certain things. J 11. Love to learn new things. 12. Inotice when lam thinking negative thoughts, and | am able to change those thoughts to more encouraging ones. We all fluctuate between both fixed and growth mindsets, but it’s important to know for yourself which side you favor. In this assessment, items 4, 7, 9, and 10 are fixed-mindset statements. The rest are growth-mindset statements. Each mantra featured in this book is a growth-mindset statement that you can reinforce in your classroom. The more you use and model these mantras for your students, the greater their understanding of the growth mindset will be. ©Teacher Creared Resources #8311 Change Your Mindseteee seaumosey pasoaig s2Y209 raspy anoy 2840 LESH jloddns snof 10} nok yuey, “UaNB 5} YOYJa UAYM Yea!

Talk about the idea that sometimes, even when we give our best efforts, we don't take home an award. Discuss what it means to give your very best, no matter who is watching or if there is recognition at the end. Remind students that when they do their best, they can always be proud of what they achieve, whether or not there is an award to be won, Ask students to write and sign an effort promise that can be posted in the classroom as a reminder: | promise to give my best effort and not quit until 'm proud. ©Teacher Created Resources #8311 Change Your Mindsetsonmosay painaty 42920210) osprey nog 2804 119% ‘OUUN [Je JO S1e3S BJA! snoWE) sow a4} JO Suo awueDaq ays pue ‘ssaioy 1S9g 104 splemy AuapeDy a10W aalLp UIA 02 UO UBM LuNgda} ULERY Sof|UD PUE saruaIpNe YIOq YAIM ssaooNs aBny e sem WIY OPEL BYL WEIS dy 3q pinom ays 1eyn wuaWaasBe arp YaIM ‘s!AOUL e 404 A10}S aUp 02 SIYBU ay ayBNOg SuLLeYey ALY e sem Aeid 2441 Kempeoig uo Avois piydjapoyyd 24! adueWHOy.ad Jey WHIM yPeqaUIO> e apew auLEYey ng We} 0} punog sem ul sem ays aiaow Aue ep BulUeaLL ,osiod aDyyo xog, 184 pajaqe| SAUD ‘BE61-£E61 WOY UI sem ays Solow ay JO 1SOW 3y1 JOU pip saduaipny “sdoy ayy awe> uy “WHY Pally say ‘Auo/D Bujwiowy 40y EE6L Ul plemy Awapedy Is1lj 84 UOM aULeUIEY “euewuoyied Asana U1359q 134 ane6 ays asneraq asaq ay) ‘ym sj10m 03 paruem AjUO aus ‘siaUR0 40} ue sjasiay 105—sprepuers ybiy pey aus ‘sassaip snoiowe/6 210M Sassanze JayO Lay sayOp jense> Jeyo pue siued aiom ays pue ‘suoiuido say DIO 02 paredisay 19naU ays “aun 184 Jo $10138 Jato Woy 1uaJa4sIp sem ULELRLY “Yo y001 s221€9 194 pue ‘ed ayp 306 ays ‘Z¢61 UU, 3IAOW S14 J94 104 UOMIpne oy 2oUEYP ayR Jay ane6 pue wioyiad sy mes anoas yUaled Y 19 HOA Man Ul Aempeoug Jo pue Uo skejd u! unre pavse}s auuteyey -262}|02 U BuADe Ualm ano] ul 1124.41 ays ang ‘Buruuoysad pan} skemje ays, “sonaype pue Jooups 28 piey 20m pue pultu say yeads o3 194 paBeinooua siusied 19} 2061 Ut Wiog sem aueYRey ‘eouewsoyied Kiana Ul3saq 194 aNI6 0} prey Buppom pue sjasiay 01 ann Burkeas Ag mo} ‘Buoim je wat panoud auueypey ing “3peq aounog senau pjno> ays 1y6noyy SopyD pue ‘aa4yo xog au ve paddoy zeua sa}Aow Jo Bus & ey aus “aunjiey e palapisuo> sem ays ‘aw BuO Ie Tek puy “spremy Awape>y sno} win 0} UeWOM ysiy au) sem WiNgdaH auuEUREY, reg rowenDirections: Answer these questions on your own, writing your answers below.
