Some students are highly motivated
and others are not.

to Try Hard in School?

Growth Mindset and
Achievement
• Decades of research show a powerful relationship between
mindset and achievement.
• Students’ beliefs about intelligence and learning impact:
• Motivation
• Academic behaviors (e.g., studying and seeking
help)
• Responses to challenges and setbacks
• Academic achievement

Growth Mindset vs. Fixed
Mindset
Fixed mindset
Intelligence is a fixed trait. You
can’t change it.
Growth mindset
You can grow your intelligence
through effort.

Mindsets
These two beliefs lead students to very
different conclusions about the meaning
of events

Goals
Looking smart is most important:
“The main thing I want when I do
my school work is to show how
good I am at it."
Learning is most important:
“It’s much more important for me
to learn things in my classes than
it is to get the best grades.”

Effort is negative:
“To tell the truth, when I work
hard at my school work it makes
me feel like I’m not very smart."
Effort is positive:
“The harder you work at
something, the better you’ll be at
it.”

How Do Everyday Interactions
Shape Mindsets?
• The language we use tells others what
we believe and what we value
• Feedback tells us what is expected of
us and what goals we should have

Growth Mindset Praise
Don’t Focus On:– Qualities commonly interpreted as stable,
like talent or intelligence
Do Focus On:– Effort and strategies used
“I like how you tried a new way to solve that.”
– Abilities improving over time with practice“You’ve been practicing and I can see it’s paying off.”
– Mistakes and being challenged as necessary part of learning“I love mistakes because they’re an opportunity to learn – being challenged is when the brain grows most.”
