- A growth mindset is when the student knows his or her talents can be furthered and made better. “they understood their abilities could be developed.” While a fixed mindset student had failed and was told they were a failure, which shows them they were nothing and could not be developed. The quote to support this would be; “other students felt it was tragic, catastrophic”.
- one way to build the bridge is too praise wisely; “this process praise creates kids who are hardy and resilient”. The other way is a game that was invented that gave kids greater confidence. “create a new online math game that rewarded yet”. I believe both of these methods are very reasonable in helping kids further themselves in learning situations.
- Her model of intelligence is not about having the right answer all of the time but instead, having the “yet” factor. You may not always have the right answer but that does not mean you are completely wrong either, you just may not be there yet.
- It was my 8th grade year and I was in a math class, my teacher who was pregnant at the time always took the extra step with me to make sure I was always improving, even if I would not get the correct answer the first try. That went on for the time she was there, however, she was pregnant and had to go on maternity leave. Having her as my teacher, I averaged about a B+. Then came in the next teacher, who was a good teacher, however, he did not display that same type of encouragement as my first teacher. When I would have a bad test or struggle with classwork, I would not get that extra help, thus leading me to fail. Giving me the fixed mindset that I failed and leading me to think I was a failure and give up.
