Inside the Mindsets

Aim: How do we truly push ourselves and not just give lip service to it?

Quick Write: Suggested by Melanie Thompson. Do you think you were born with a fixed or a growth mindset? Why?

Watch this video "Just Listen: Students Talk About Learning."


Today we will continue reading and analyzing the psychology of "mindset" by reading the second chapter in Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D.

We will assign sections of the chapter. Each person will become the expert on that section. For your assigned section, complete this reciprocal reading worksheet.

Hard copies of the chapter and Cornell note-taking forms are available in the classroom.

Final Reflection (to be posted on your blog): Discuss one way teachers can show students that they truly believe in their potential--more than just giving "lip service." Then give one example of a way, perhaps without knowing it, teachers can cause students to feel discouraged or like a failure.
