How can you instil a ‘growth mindset’ in young people at your school?
Research suggests that pupils who have a growth mindset – the belief that intelligence is malleable – try harder, persist for longer, seek out feedback and set themselves more challenging goals. This course covers research on growth mindset, dispels common myths, and explores practical strategies that can be implemented in the classroom and across the whole school.
This course was developed with Bradley Busch, a registered psychologist and director of InnerDrive.
Please note:
A study published in July 2019 found that the use of growth mindset didn’t make a difference to pupils’ English or maths results. There are a few possible explanations for this finding.
Schools should be “wary of using growth mindset as a standalone way of boosting attainment”, according to Kevan Collins, chief executive of the Education Endowment Foundation, which commissioned the research.
This training course is suitable for all teaching and support staff. It consists of three sessions that are roughly 90 minutes in length, and can be easily adapted to your timings and staff needs.
