What type of mindset do you have? As a matter of fact, The story is about “The Two Basic Mindsets That Shape Our Lives,” and the author (Carol Dweck) research on mindset goes into great detail. Dweck research is good because it could change somebody life if they determine what type of mindset they have.

Beilock said, “In other words, a student’s perspective can determine success or failure.” Beilock also said,” How we interpret these reactions predict whether we will choke or thrive.” Right now you're choking on these math classes that can help you thrive. So excuse those bad habits you have. Since your actions are negative, there must be some changes in your confidence and mindset beliefs.

David Yeager and Carol Dweck have written an article, Mindsets That Promote Resilience: When Students Believe That Characteristics Can Be Developed, that differs from most because instead of offering tried and true prescriptions for success in education, all they say is needed is a shift in mentality. So, for students that face challenges in school or with others, all they need to know is that people can learn, develop, and grow abilities and behaviors. They say even without knowing how to do those things, just knowing it is possible to change or improve is all that it takes to overcome obstacles. The summarize several studies that prove their theory. When students believe they are “dumb,” they do not believe they can change that and when that

I have notice that you're not as motivated on schoolwork as you need to be. Which is something I’m willing on helping you achieve it. Having a Fixed Mindset can affect you in many ways. Therefore, I’m seeing that is affecting you in school. You think that you are not smart enough and/or can not do certain things. Let me tell you that you are wrong. In order to success you first fail. It may sound ridiculous but believe it is true. Not everybody is successful at their first try. Not everybody is born smart. Many people fails so many times that they lose hope but that is the point of failing because you get to push yourself farther to reach your goal and learn from mistakes. That is the number one step in Growth Mindset not giving up. Asking for help is also a big step in everything. Hence, do not believe that abilities can not be improved.

ailure is scary for many people. By changing your fixed mindset to growth mindset we can reduce the fear of failure by beginning to see it more as an opportunity to learn and grow. Everybody makes mistakes but the real question is how do you respond and recover. Approaching challenging situations with a growth mindset makes all the difference. Criticism plays a huge role in the mind of the fixed mindset. Ever since you were small, someone has been telling you what you can't do. Your mother told you that you couldn't eat dessert until you finished dinner, your father told you that you couldn't sit too close to the TV, and your teachers told you that you couldn't run in the hallway. During life, there will be hundreds of people who not only tell

Beliefs are the intangible idea’s we form to help us keep going when we are in a rough part of our lives. They are the things we fall back on when we are forced with a tough decision. But most importantly, they are the parts of our identity that make us special. My biggest belief is in confidence. It makes you perform well, and it makes you able to stand up for yourself. But most of all, I believe in confidence because it is the most powerful and important mindset. I got my belief from playing soccer. Confidence has affected me more than anything else with soccer. When I thought I would play well, I played well. When I thought I would play poorly, I tightened up and was awful. This was very hard because my confidence would take a little hit then it would take a long time to recover because as my confidence went down, my skill went down, Then as my skill went down, my confidence went down even further and it was this horrible cycle that was almost impossible to escape from. This is why before I could control it, playing soccer just stopped being fun. If I couldn’t play well, why would I play?

Mentally flexible people have an expansive way of perceiving the world. Similar to physical flexibility, mental or psychological flexibility requires challenging the mind to go beyond its typical range of motion. A flexible mindset can lead to better problem-solving, enhanced creativity and less suffering after setbacks. Develop mental flexibility by overriding your fixed mindset, changing your mental perceptions, and implementing new exercises.

Literature suggests that positive learning environments are built on student – teacher relationships and that these relationships provide the critical foundations upon which to support positive learning. As a mathematics tutor who recently completed an honours thesis based on student understanding, I stand in full agreeance of the literature, before I can adequately tutor a struggling student I need to understand how that student learns. This understanding of student learning is best gained through building a positive relationship with the student and as stated by Skemp (1976) ‘talking with the student, is undoubtedly the best way to assess which mental processes were used’. I believe students must feel that their learning is important, be

Safety in everything we do has been taught to us at one point or another. In many cases we overlook the skills we have been taught sometimes and forget to act as we should. The Air Force teaches during resiliency training the concept of a growth mindset. The focus is on teaching the Airmen to growth their understanding of themselves and others and be open to learning the skills in different ways.

What is mindset? Mindset to me means, the set of attitudes established by someone. When I hear growth mind set, it become apparent to me that growth mindset starts at a young age. I for one think that when you start learning at a young age, all the information that you take in from learning will be in your mind. When you do this you can become smarter and smarter over time. The next topic is fixed mindset. When I hear the topic fixed mindset, my mind agrees that fixed mindset is your mind is fixed. When you have a fixed mindset you will try not to learn new objects. Usually a person with a fixed mindset will not try exploring different subjects, apart than learning the same thing over and over.

In society we believe that you either born smart or born normal. Today I'm going to show you that all that is proven differently with the studies called mind set. Carol S. Dweck shows that there are actually two different kinds of mind a growth and a fixed mindset. You're probably asking what the difference A growth Mindset allows us to gain more information by challenging our self because we were raised that way. While a Fix mindset is basically you know everything and think that you don't need to learn something new because you just want to look smart, but when confronted with a challenge you tend to back down and when you fail a test you tend to give up or even cheat (Dweck 9) That was a small taste of what mind set is.

I think assigning a job or task to students teaches them reasonability as well the feeling of accomplishment. We have a list of jobs the student do on a daily basis. Each day they have a different job. Even the student we have that is in a wheelchair has a job each day. We do though have a job as the “helper” that works with her to complete her job if needed. If it is her to do pass out folders, the “helper” will help her pass them out to each student. It is funny to say but the most popular job in the class is the helper. I agree by showing students everyone is equal I believe it will promote less negativity and more positivity in the classroom.
