Synopsis

If you want to unlock the secrets of growth mindsets and understand how you can develop them in your classroom, this is the book for you.

Growth mindsets holds out the tantalising prospect of changing the way learners think and, as a result, how they learn. Is it that simple? Can we really flick a switch and see learners becoming more resilient, more determined and more able to persist with their learning?

Change doesn't happen overnight. We know that from our own experiences. But change can and does happen. Something else we as teachers know. You only need to look at how your learners change across a year to see the truth of it.

How to Develop Growth Mindsets in the Classroom doesn't offer a magic formula. It doesn't promise the secret solution to change how learners think. And it doesn't claim to be the only answer you'll need to transform your classroom.

What it does offer is practical, proven techniques you can use to introduce, embed and promote growth mindsets in your classroom. Inside this comprehensive guide, you'll learn:

• How to adapt your language so learners start thinking more positively
• Strategies for changing how learners perceive and react to mistakes
• Techniques for developing metacognition so that learners become more reflective
• How to create a challenge culture so that learners embrace more difficult learning
• What you can do to engage parents with growth mindsets so they are echoing and supporting your messages

Everything is presented with the busy classroom teacher in mind. This book is written by a teacher, for teachers. The clear, accessible insights are divided into sections:

• Getting the Language Right
• Changing How Students Perceive Mistakes
• Targeting Student Effort
• Giving Great Feedback
• Thinking About Thinking
• Creating a Challenge Culture
• Focussing on Processes
• Engaging Parents with Growth Mindsets
• Exemplar Growth Mindset Questions

Start using the power of growth mindsets to transform your classroom today and unlock the potential of your students to embrace challenge, learn from mistakes and become more resilient.
