Carol Dweck-Stanford University
Dweck’s findings: Two Mindsets
Fixed mindset:Intelligence and talent
-fixed Innate talent creates
success Effort will not make a
differenceYou either get it or
you don’t
Growth mindset: Intelligence can be
developed Brains and talent are
just the starting point
Enjoy effort and process of learning
You can always grow and learn
Fixed Mindset Response: HelplessWhen faced with failure or challenge, people
with a FIXED mindset:
Do not pay attention to learning informationGet depressed, lose self-esteem: Say to themselves ‘I am stupid’, they’ll thinkUnder-represent past successes and over-
represent failures (I never do things right)Explain the cause of events as something stable
about them. (I am ALWAYS this way!)
Growth Mindset Response: Mastery When faced with failure or challenge,
people with a GROWTH mindset:Pay attention to learning information, and so do
better on future tests.Focus on what they are learning, rather than
focusing on how they feel.Try out new ways of doing things.Use self-motivating statements such as ‘ the
harder it gets the harder I try’.When faced with tests which are impossible to
pass they will factor in other reasons and not blame their intellect i.e. this test was beyond my ability for now.
Carol S. Dweck, Standford UniversityMindset: The new psychology of success
“The growth mindset confirms the new research which reveals that
intelligence can be developed, and expertise can be built by means of
deliberate practice.”
The Brain and Learning
In the classroom, the more ways the materials in the are introduced to the brain and
reviewed, the more dendritic pathways of access will be created. There will be more
cell-to-cell bridges and these pathways will be used more often, become stronger and remain safe from pruning.
-- Dr. Judy Willis, Neurologist, 2006.
From neuroscience we know that…
Neurons that fire together Wire together!

which are you?How do you
think?
• You can always substantially change how intelligent you are
• You embrace challenges, because you know they will make you stronger
• Obstacles and setbacks don’t discourage you, failing doesn’t scare you, you view it as an opportunity to learn.
• Criticism and negative feedback isn’t always about you, but your current abilities and you see it as a way to improve.
• You view the success of others as an inspiration
1. Your intelligence is something very basic about you that you can't change very much.
2. You can learn new things, but you can't really change how intelligent you are.
3. You avoid challenges because you’re not sure if you’ll succeed and you don’t want it to ruin your image
4. When someone gives you feedback, it feels like a criticism of your capabilities and of you
5. Sometimes you wish you could bring down the success of others
GGGrow
th Mindset GGFixed Mindset
What is it?- It is a way of thinking, believing that who you are is constantly changeable.- It is the belief that every moment is simply a passageway to becoming a better person.- It is the mentality that learning and growth are endless and that the greatest accomplishments are met through dedication, practice, and effort.
Famous people with a Growth Mindset
If you’re open to growth, you tend to grow
Michael Jordan, J.K. Rowling, and Oprah exemplify the core concepts of a growth mindset. Each of these
celebrities have faced failure and criticism but with hard work and dedication they have mastered their
skills and become incredibly successful.
