 Durrington High School identifies itself as a
growth mindset school.
 What does a growth mindset teacher look like
in practice?
 How do growth mindset teachers view their
students ability to improve?

Six teachers were identified based upon
observations, their reputation and whether
they had consistently good outcomes

Observations conducted using an observation
sheet

Observer tallied and made observation about
growth mindset characteristics based on
Dwecks literature

Teachers who embrace a growth mindset
approach to their teaching rather than simply
agreeing to it in principle seem to ensure
challenge of all their students and
consistently identify misconceptions.
Furthermore, excellence is consistently
modelled.

Challenge was observed on 53 occasions over
the project.
Participant 1(year 8 English poetry lesson):

Cognitive demand of the work was strong
with high expectations of all students

Scaffolding for the lower ability students

A GCSE style checklist with increasing
difficulty was provided
Dweck states that great teachers set high
standards for all their students, not just
the ones who are already achieving
(Dweck, 2012)
 Misconceptions were identified and
challenged 46 times throughout the project.
Participant 2 (Mathematics):
 Verbal feedback: 'double check your total of
fx
 Not just given the answer
 Whole class address: be careful of the scale
on the x axis
Growth mindset individuals were more
likely to fix their errors so that they
could learn from them (Dweck, 2012)
 Participant 3 (Year 8 Textiles lesson developing
abstract-inspired bunting):
 Clear teacher modelling step by step
 Critique given with clear explanations
 Questioning to allow progression
 Addressing misconceptions to the whole class
all great teachers teach students how
to reach the high standards (Dweck,
2012)
 My findings have supported the wider research into mindset
showing that teachers within this project have growth
mindset.
 Growth mindset is centred upon 'intelligence being a quality
that can be changed and developed' (Dweck, 2008).
 Individuals with a Fixed Mindset believe that their
intelligence is simply an inborn traitthey have a certain
amount, and it cannot be changed. (Blackwell, Trzesniewski,
& Dweck, 2007; Dweck, 1999, 2007).
 The most effective teachers have deep knowledge of the
subjects they teach and identify students common
misconceptions (Sutton Trust, 2014).
What individual teachers can do:
 Share good practice by videoing lessons
 Encourage more time for pop-in observations
 Prior to lesson teacher to identify one misconception per
lesson and ensuring this is challenged within the lesson
 In planning ensure all lower ability students are challenged
through the lesson
 Share exemplars of student work at different stages of the
process
What schools can do:
 focus on challenge, modelling of excellence and identify
misconceptions
 In department time share and discuss student misconceptions
so they can be planned for and interventions made
 Growth mindset pioneer to see what your school already does
and identify areas for improvement
 INSET to all staff with specific techniques to increase growth
mindset
