Abstract
How can we nurture a growth mindset in our classrooms? What “seeds” do we need to plant? How can we create nutrient-rich “soil” for these seeds to grow in? What extra support do we need to give our “seeds” so that they will blossom into life-long learners? As teachers, we become the “gardeners” of our classrooms. Our students come to us with a variety of needs and require different amounts of time to grow. It is our challenge to help each student blossom. We need tools and strategies to help our students develop a growth mindset. In many classrooms, we can find examples of both fixed mindset and growth mindset. By being able to identify these mindsets, we can tailor our classroom language by teaching phrases such as, “I’m not able to do this . . . yet.” By being aware of the types of feedback we give students, we can support their growth as confident, independent learners. We can create an environment where students are ready to embrace challenges.
