2.3 Encouraging an Academic Mindset

Book

Description

Good teachers encourage and support students to develop a positive academic mindset.
When a student feels a sense of belonging in a classroom community, believes that success is possible and within his or her control, and sees school work as interesting or relevant to his or her life, the student is much more likely to persist at academic tasks despite setbacks and to exhibit the kinds of academic behaviors that lead to learning and school success. Academic mindsets have been studied by Camille Farrington as a critical component of deeper learning.

Document

READ:

Mindsets and Equitable Education by Carol Dweck. Think about the concept of growth and fixed mindsets. What are ways in which you can encourage a growth mindset culture (for students and for self). 

Video

WATCH:

Watch the video Encouraging Students to Persist Through Challenges. Take note of growth mindset in action as the teacher encourages productive struggle.
