Fixed mind-set: intelligence is static; may not have the ability to succeed; educators have no influence on student's intelligence; put people in categories & expect them to stay in negative stereotype; learning is the student's responsibility--may or may not have what it takes.
Growth mind-set: intelligence can be developed; outperforms students with fixed mind-set; focused on learning, believed in effort, resilient in the setbacks; students highly motivated to learn; intellectual skills can be molded and enhanced; teachers committed to finding a way for all students to learn; learning is a collaboration between student and teacher; students build abilities through effort; stereotyped group gains in learning; have permission to learn, make mistakes, and try again.
Teachers---Students---Adults: where are you on this continuum?
