Effective Ways to Encourage a Growth Mindset in the Classroom

1. Establish Micro goals to increase STUDENT confidence:

   

   GROWTH MINDSET PRAISE CARDS

   Motivate students by setting small achievable goals to encourage their progress, confidence, and academic skills.
2. Give formative feedback that focuses on their actions, work effort and learning strategies: When they succeed, praise their progress and efforts rather than praising their smartness. That is because most students consider intelligence or being smart as a fixed trait if you start complimenting their intelligence this may undermine their performance and motivation. So help your students to understand the importance of their own actions in achieving success.
3. Focus on cooperative activities rather than competitive activities: each student is different from in terms of their intelligence skills and abilities. If a student is poor in reading then he or she will never think of participating in any activity which involves reading. So it is important to design activities that involve the cooperation of all students rather than individualistic or competitive. Moreover, recent studies also suggest that students feel more successful and motivated when working in cooperative environments.
4. Value Learning: Let’s face it, most students show less interest
   
   in learning. It is important to help children value the process and focus on learning. Without this, students will stick to the traditional strategies of reading notes just for acquiring good grades with a fixed mindset. While grades are important but the value of learning should need to be prioritized by today’s students.
5. Create a risk tolerant learning zone: It is important to create a
   risk-free environment in the school where students are free to learn without fearing of mistakes. Let your students know that you value persistent progress, learning, challenge seeking as compared to the perfect performance. It’s ok to make mistakes, they are part of life and we can all learn from mistakes. Remove their fears of mistakes and let them learn in an atmosphere that supports growth and learning.
