RationaleWe have started the journey in Growth Mindset but are embedding it further within the school this year.

Key to this development will be processes, language and feedback

Working together for the good of all By using Growth Mindset, our school creates a culture for all children to flourish and reach their God-given potential but in a secure and nurturing, Christian environment.

Our teaching culture as a result of this project has improved and teacher feedback shows an improvement in attainment… but what is this?

To start this off. Let me highlight the importance of culture and language to you.

Q: How many interactions does a person in business have in one hour?

Growth Mindset The idea comes from the research of the psychologist Carol Dweck.

A mindset is simply a belief – a belief about yourself and your most fundamental qualities like ability, faith (or lack of it), personality, political views, talent and so on.

We all have mindsets. They can be growth, fixed or a mixture of the two.

Working together for the good of all All classes need excellent behaviour management strategies that work. Our developments are supporting a culture of love, collaboration and excellence.

How? - Behaviour expectations are led by expectation, not reward- Language is key- How do you show dignity and respect - loco-parentis - Growth Mindset - How this all links with feedback- How this all links with the classroom

But why? - Culture, Loco-parentis, Impact on attainment and progress

Growth MindsetAre you fixed or Growth Mindset?

Some people think they are Growth Mindset andare actually quite fixed mindset. We are changing this.

Actions: - Language is crucial - Mr Bawn has led training with further training in

November and January- We are ensuring staff understand research from John Hattie and Shirley Clarke

on Visible Learning - encompasses a lot of these ideas- Celebrate failure: “Excellent mistake” is a phrase you will all be using - watch

how this leads into Feedback and better teaching - How you use praise - we will look at this on next slide

PraiseStaff have had training to give praise that should encouragea Growth Mindset approach.

Some staff have had a lot of training on this (SLMT) and the impact is already being seen.

We are providing further training for all staff - this is so we see the removal of superlative language and rewarding success over effort / progress. Our training will ensure a further cultural shift within these classes as well as the early adopters

Actions: - No ego praise - do not praise the person, praise the behaviour- No praise (like Dojos or rewards or test scores) that pits children against each other - Never praise the quantity of work or finishing quickly. Success is working hard, not finishing quickly - Praise to some children is often targeted but others often get patronising well dones rather than

targeted verbal feedback - Do you see how Growth Mindset flows into Feedback yet?

Next Steps

Culture● We are instilling a culture for teachers to act as a professional

who is in a loco parentis role with language being key and following our Growth Mindset Principles

Rewards● No Dojos, no table marble jars, no R.A.G with names on ● Rewards for behaviour and linked to growth mindset ● Rewards are not for things they should be doing - no playtime for

good behaviour - Let’s talk behaviour management

What else have we done: Classroom● Desks in rows ● Random seats done weekly● Any kids together - children need to learn how to sit and work with anyone● Never praise speed or success - think how you felt in my dojo board - imagine if you

are 7● Deliberately refer to mistakes as “fantastic mistakes” - the class will say well done to

that individual ● Explain all these changes so children understand ● Each week, at the end of the week, have a compliment slip for the class to fill out on

their partner to say why they enjoyed working with them. KEEP THEM ● Never start with hands up. Pick randomly. It is less hierarchical ● Blue cards - all classes to have blue cards they can put on their desk if they do not

understand - peer support or teacher support can then be given

Using Growth Mindset as a mindset, not just the language will enable: - Communication and excellent Verbal Feedback- Verbal Feedback done well will lead to excellent Formative

and summative assessment- Excellent communication and assessment will support

relationships with children, improving behaviour management, which in turn is supported by Growth Mindset
