What do you believe?
No matter how much intelligence you may have, you can always change it quite a bit.
You can do things differently, but the important parts of who you are can’t really be changed.
Mindset
FIXED I need to look
smart If I have to work
hard, I’m not smart A bad grade is
because I’m not smart enough – I will now avoid that kind of challenge.
GROWTH Learning more
important than good grades
The harder you try, the better you become
Even geniuses have to work hard for their great accomplishments
It’s about the effort…
A failure is an opportunity to learn.
Mistakes are problems to be solved.
“Great accomplishments are typically the result of years of passion and dedication not something that flows naturally from a gift.”
Carol Dweck
What should we do?
Praise effort over intelligence.
Be specific about our praise.
Encourage challenge and growth.
