(Strong Growth, Growth with some Fixed, Fixed with some growth, or Strong Fixed) Journal #2: Now that you have scored it, do you think this is accurate? Where in your life can you recognize fixed mindsets? Where are you growth-minded? What effect does teacher expectation have on student learning? (Marzano) How do our own beliefs (fixed vs. growth mindset) affect how we teach our students? If we taught all students to have a growth mindset, what impact would it have on how students approach their own individual learning? How can a growth mindset increase rigor?

- 17. Dweck and her colleagues offered four-year-olds a choice: They could either redo an easy jigsaw puzzle, or try a harder one. Even these young children conformed to the characteristics of one of the two mindsets those with fixed mentality stayed on the safe side, choosing the easier puzzles that would affirm their existing ability, articulating to the researchers their belief that smart kids dont make mistakes; those with the growth mindset thought it an odd choice to begin with, perplexed why anyone would want to do the same puzzle over and over if they arent learning anything new. In other words, the fixed-mindset kids wanted to make sure they succeeded in order to seem smart, whereas the growth- mindset ones wanted to stretch themselves, for their definition of success was about becoming smarter.

- 21. Conclusion: Growth Mindset 20 years of research indicates that the view that you adopt for yourself profoundly affects the way you lead your life Believing that your basic qualities (and those of others) are carved in stone (the fixed mindset) creates an urgency to prove yourself over and over Growth Mindset moves us from the belief in fixed attributes and in recognizing and praising intelligence toward a growth mindset that recognizes the importance of: *Strategies *Effort *Focus *Persistence (not yet) Growth Mindset changes how we perceive failure Cultivated by deliberate practice and specific vocabulary
- 22. Implications for the Classroom Performance Goals vs. Learning Goals Performance Goals = About measuring ability (students may condemn themselves) Learning Goals = About mastering new things Performance goals contribute to Entity Theory Growth goals Students see both themselves and learning in a different way! (This changes how we plan, teach and assess.)
- 23. Even Greater Implications Growth Mindset creates an enjoyment around learning Fixed Mindset Can foster dishonesty (40% of smart kids were dishonest about their scores because we told them they were smart) Implications for relationships myths about true love, living happily ever after, (the ideal vs. growth mindset improving communication and avoiding assigning blame) Growth mindset can create a voracious appetite for learning!!!

- 25. Impacts of Teaching and Learning Shifts in thinking in how to meet the needs of all students (differentiation) in the classroom Shifts in programs such as GATE (from a small subgroup to how we better serve all students) Differentiation is critical but there are many myths around differentiation such as: #1 Differentiation means I have to plan something different for every student #2 I differentiate by grouping students by reading ability and giving them leveled readings. #3 I can differentiate effectively using one data point. #4 Differentiation is easy, just give the high students more and the low students less. #5 I dont need to change anything about my instructional practices to effectively differentiate.
