"What stereotypes do you feel you have suffered from in the fixed mindset? Did you find a way to overcome it in the growth mindset?"
How do you view failure? How do our children/students view failure? Do you see failure as part of the “process of becoming better than we once were?” Do you allow failure in your children/students? Do you embrace failure when it happens? Should you?
Dweck argues that when children have a growth mindset they will be more motivated, engaged, determined and persistent. If you agree and you desire those traits in your children/students, what can we do differently as a school and what can you specifically do to better foster a growth mindset?
Be prepared to provide an example of a real or ficticious person who you feel has a growth mindset. List your reasons behind this choice.
