Encouraging a Growth Mindset

Anita Head —

At Halswell School we are incorporating the messages of Growth Mindset into our daily life.

Growth mindset is a concept developed by Carol Dweck, a Stanford University professor. It is the belief that a person’s abilities and intelligence can be developed through practice, hard work, dedication and motivation.

Children who have a growth mindset are more likely to:

  • Learn from mistakes

  • Be motivated to succeed

  • Take risks

  • Seek feedback

  • Learn more

  • Take challenges head on
