The Growth mindset

Welcome back to the ISC's In The Know blog. I thought I would kick off the new year with Carol Dweck's TED Talk that discusses the power of believing that you can improve. As you are aware, Carol is the guru of the Growth mindset - a mindset that welcomes difficulties and challenges, seeing them as a way to improve your learning.
She talks about being wise with your praise, praising the process the students engage in(effort, focus, strategies, perseverance) rather than talent and intelligence.
