Realizing Potential with Mindset
Mindsets are beliefs about intelligence and how one learns. Those with a growth mindset believe their intelligence can change and are more likely to persist and seek help when struggling at a task. Those with a fixed mindset believe intelligence is static and are more likely to shut down and avoid challenges. Fostering a growth mindset in the classroom helps all students reach their potential and can be especially powerful for students who feel unwelcome in a discipline and think they cannot succeed.
- Identify behaviors associated with fixed and growth mindsets
- Articulate the benefits of a growth mindset for students
- Apply strategies to promote a growth mindset
This workshop provides a research-based overview of growth mindset, including key characteristics, benefits, and strategies to employ in the classroom, as well as activities geared toward helping teachers and students reflect on and foster a growth mindset.
The workshop will include hands-on activities, small and large group discussion, self-discovery, and guided inquiry.
