Becoming a Growth Mindset School

This guide explains the theories which underpin a growth mindset ethos and lays out how to embed them into the culture of a school. It offers step-by-step guidance for school leaders to help build an approach to teaching and learning that will encourage children to embrace challenge, persist in the face of setback and see effort as the path to mastery. It isn’t about quick fixes or miracle cures, but an evidence-based transformation of the way we think and talk about teaching, learning and learners. Underpinned by the ground-breaking research of Carol Dweck, Angela Duckworth, Walter Mischel and others, this book shows how a growth mindset ethos benefits the whole school community.
