Praise – Focus on the process, not the person

NOTES

Growth Mindset is a theory introduced in the USA by an education guru called Carol Dweck.

A growth mindset is the belief that your skills and abilities are not set in stone. Just as mighty oaks grow from tiny acorns, our talents might start small, but they have the potential to grow huge. The opposite of this is the fixed mindset.

Essentially, we all potential and the more we turn to this approach to challenge pupils out of their comfort zone the more likely they are to respond positively to you. Its not always about the right answer its more about the learning journey you took to get there.
