Editor's Notes
- #6: Mindset is another word for belief, based on Carol Dwecks article. Have them read first section of article, underlining key words/concepts that strike them. Through her work with groups of 7th graders that she and her assistants followed, students with a growth mindset pulled ahead of their peers who demonstrated a fixed mindset. Similar work completed with 5th graders.
- #7: This brief clip further demonstrates the ideas behind each of these mindsets as outlined in Carol Dwecks article This is not Carol Dwecks clip, but it reflects her work. Carol Dweck,a professor at Stanford University and author of Brainology Have them read second section if time allows. Otherwise, Introduce Angela Duckworth.
- #8: This Upenn researcher started her work in graduate school. And is the creator of something called The GRIT scale. Grit is not an acronym. She uses this word to capture the characteristic people possess that sees them through challenging work as they persevere in pursuit of a goal. It is the perseverance in pursuit of long-term goals. Paul Tough, author of How Children Succeed speaks further about Grit in this video.
