Growth Mindset

 Growth Mindset

    Coming into this class I had never heard of Carol Dweck. I had heard the term growth mindset but never really looked into what it was or what it meant. Now that I know what growth mindset is, it made me look at the way I have gone through school and if there was any growth mindset promoted. Throughout school, growth mindset hasn't really been promoted. It was either you understood and passed or you didn't and failed. Most kids did whatever they could to get through school whether that be actually studying or cheating their way through. I think that growth mindset is a good way for students to be actively engaged in learning and not make them want to give up as easily. The statistics that Carol Dweck brought up proved that growth mindset can be extremely beneficial at school, especially is less fortunate and widely known areas where kids tend to struggle.
