Summary of Carol Dweck’s book, Mindset
• Factors attributed to Success: Effort, Intelligence, Luck, People around You
• People who hold the Growth Mindset believe that intelligence can be developed, that the brain is like a muscle that can be trained.
• People who hold the Fixed Mindset think that “they are the way they are.”

What Mindsets DoGoals
Fixed Mindset Students Say
Learning is Most Important
“It’s much more important for me to learn things in my classes than
it is to get the best grades.”
Growth Mindset Students Say
Looking Smart is Most Important
“The main thing I want when I do my school work is to show how
good I am at it.”
What Mindsets DoEffort Beliefs
Fixed Mindset Students Say
Effort is positive
“The harder you work at something, the better you’ll be at
it.”
Growth Mindset Students Say
Effort is negative
“To tell the truth, when I work hard at my school work it makes me feel like I’m not very smart.”
What Mindsets DoStrategies After Failure
Fixed Mindset Students Say

“I would spend more time studying for the tests.”
Growth Mindset Students Say

Effective Feedback From Dylan Wiliam - Imbedded Formative Assessment
• Students given only scores• Students given scores and feedback for improvement• Students given only feedback for improvement• Students only given praise• Control Group - No praise or feedback
Effect of Praise Only
• Higher ego involvement - Wanted to know who they were better than and made judgments about their talent/ability
• Improvement same as the control group - no progress
Praise is effective when…
• Infrequent• Credible• Specific• Genuine• Focused on the process for truly high quality
results
Effect of Scores and Feedback
• Improvement showed no progress• Students with high scores ignore comments -
feel they don’t need to• Students with low scores ignore comments
because they don’t want to read them.
Students given only scores
• Showed no improvement from the 1st task to the second
• Students with high scores wanted to continue to do the work
• Students with low scores wanted to quit
Students given only Feedback
• Registered 30% higher scores then on the first task
• All students reported wanted to continue on learning similar work
Effectiveness of Feedback
Highly Effective• Minimum amount of
support to get kids “unstuck”
• Focuses student on “what’s next,” and has time in class to use feedback to improve work.
Less Effective• Providing students with the
help all the way up to the solution/answer and then giving them additional practice on new problems
• Comparing Scores - students become more concerned with how they did then focusing on the feedback.
Growth Mindset Statements
• It’s okay if you don’t fully understand a concept first time, learning takes time.
• It is not humiliating to make a mistake. We all make mistakes when we learn. Indeed is part of how we learn. If we don’t make mistakes the work is too easy for us to learn.
• Mistakes are useful because they tell us where we can improve. • Its good for learning to admit to not understanding and to admit to mistakes
and then ask for clarification.• We should never ridicule each other for mistakes, even in a joking way
