Leading the Growth Mindset Classroom

Guiding and Supporting your whole school approach to Growth Mindsets

Last Year’s Initiative?

The two biggest concerns shared by school leaders I work with are...

  • How do we ensure that Growth Mindsets don’t become another of last year’s initiatives?
  • How do we embed, support and sustain this important work in our school so it makes a positive and enduring difference to our students?

We’ve all seen it before. We invest huge amounts of time, energy and
resources into the latest educational trend. But all too soon we
move on, before the initiative’s promised, lasting changes to
teacher practice, student outcomes and school culture come to
fruition.

The promise of Growth mindsets is clear. In a distinguished
career spanning more than 30 years, psychologist Carol
Dweck’s research clearly shows that the development of a
Growth mindset leads to:

  • Improved motivation
  • Increased resilience
  • Greater persistence
  • Higher performance and more

Sustaining Your Mindset Journey

Not only are students’ Mindsets important – teachers have the power to change them! What we do in the classroom influences our students’ Mindsets. Indeed, teachers are Mindset Makers who create experiences that build and support Growth Mindsets.

Developing a Growth Mindset Classroom is a journey.

We begin by moving beyond the gimmicks to a deeper, more nuanced understanding of Mindsets. We then recognise Mindsets as a continuum, and our role as teachers in moving students towards a more growth-oriented mindset. As we continue our journey we refine and extend our pedagogy so our classroom becomes a place where students' Growth Mindsets are deliberately nurtured and supported.

What I’ve realised is that many schools start their Mindset journey with enthusiasm, but soon falter. They’re unsure about the next steps, unclear about the resources required or unable to access ongoing expert support.

This is when schools run the risk of letting Mindsets become “last year’s initiative”.

That’s why I’ve developed the Growth Mindset Classroom Online Resource. It equips schools and teachers with the strategies and support they need to make enduring differences to teacher practice and student learning outcomes.

Continuing your
school’s Mindset
journey takes
time. It requires
more than a
one-day
workshop. It
needs nurturing,
resources and
ongoing support.
