Fixed v Growth
Mindset Fixed Growth
Your belief: Intelligence is a fixed trait Intelligence is cultivated through learning
Your priority: Look smart, not thick Become smarter, through learning
What makes you feel smart:
Achieving easy, low effort successes and out performing others
Engaging fully with new tasks, exerting effort, stretching and apply skills
You avoid: Effort, difficulty, setbacks, higher performing peers
Easy, previously mastered tasks
Example: Roger Federer

Growth mindset: what it isn’t
× Anyone can do anything
× That ability doesn’t matter
× Anti-competition
× Making people feel better about failing
× Simply telling pupils to ‘try harder’
× A silver bullet
× A quick fix
Growth mindset: benefits
• Seek out better feedback (Mueller and Dweck, 1998)
• Stretch themselves (Mueller and Dweck, 1998)
• Want to persist for longer (Mueller and Dweck, 1998)
• Cope better with transitions (Blackwell et al., 2007)
• Higher levels of grit (Hinton and Hendrick, 2015)
• Better grades (Dweck, 2008 and Paunesku et al., 2015)
• Less likely to drop out of school (Paunesku et al., 2015)
• Reduced stress and aggression (Yeager and Dweck, 2012)

Feedback
Fixed Mindset Growth Mindset
Ignore it, even if useful Use and learn from it
Which feedback supports learning...
You’re a maths wizard!
You got 15 out of 20Check your use of inverted commas
Show me a different way of solving this
problem
Include more complex sentences
You kept going – I can see you tried
hard today
Feedback
Good Feedback Moves:1. Task Level – How well tasks are understood/performed. (You need
to include more about...)2. Process Level – The process needed to understand/perform tasks 3. Self Regulation Level – self-monitoring, directing and regulating
actions (Go back and check your use of commas...)
Bad Feedback Moves:Feedback at the self or personal level (usually praise) is rarely effective.Praise is rarely directed at the task/process level so is ineffective in enhancing learningWhen feedback draws attention to the self, children try to avoid the risks involved in tackling a challenging task, they minimise effort and have a high fear of failure.
Classrooms that challenge
What would you expect to ...
-See-Hear-Feel
In a classroom that challenged learners?
Challenge
Being in the PitThe 'pit' is a metaphor to show that being stuck (being in the pit) is part of the learning process/challenge. It is the learning process and the learner qualities that are key strategies in helping our learners get out of the pit.
Growth mindset at Lowtown
1. Language is key – develop a common mindset language in school – “I can’t do it” to “I can’t do it yet”. Share with all stakeholders including parents and governors.
2. Parents need to be involved! Particularly in relation to the message of feedback and praise.
3. Develop a feedback policy which focuses on next steps in learning, challenge and celebrates effort and resilience.
4. Think about differentiation – how do you know they can’t do it . Consider challenge by choice.
5. Dialogic mark sheets – Einstein Challenges6. Learning about learning – ensure the curriculum covers learning about the
brain and the process of how we learn. How empowering is it to know the science behind the concept of growth mindset?
7. Introduce learning pit as a concept model for the learning process.8. Regular opportunities to refresh understanding both for staff and children.
Growth mindset in seven
words or less
I can always improve if I keep trying
Mistakes are just part of learning – keep going.
If I get it too easily I’m not learning
We don’t let challenges beat us
Never say you can’t do it – not yet!
It’s having the confidence to try again
It’s working your way out of the pit
