Growth Mindset

We work with the children in developing 'Growth Mindset' at school this year and thinking about how we can make ourselves better learners.  For the last twenty years, Dr Carol Dweck of Stanford University has been researching mindsets, achievement and success.   She defines mindset as your beliefs about yourself and your qualities of intelligence, talents and personality.   There are two types of mindsets, fixed and growth.
