Learning Areas
General Description
Too many students believe they don’t need to learn, or that they can’t learn. Professor Carol Dweck contends that this is due to students developing a Fixed Mindset with regard to their capabilities. Dweck argues that learning is stunted and many social issues can arise by having a Fixed Mindset. She says in order for students to flourish, they need a Growth Mindset – a disposition that embraces challenge, seeks out feedback and values effort as the pathway to mastery. Could a Growth Mindset be the key to unlocking our students potential, and how can teachers and schools cultivate a culture of Growth in their classrooms and schools?
This course will explore the research behind and implications of Mindset, as well some of the most common behaviours associated with holding a Fixed or Growth Mindset. Participants will be encouraged to reflect on their own mindset, and how some of our most common practices in school might serve to nurture or limit the mindsets of our students.

It was exciting listening to the types of praise and feedback we should be giving to the students.It is very relevant to the classroom context. The course provided an excellent insight into how educators should be praising students based on the specific skill (or effort) they have acquired and not just make a general statement.It is also very important to give appropriate assessment feedback

Quality research used, highly knowledgeable in content; highly relevant to teaching today!

Very high quality masterclass. Considering the nature of our students in our alternative setting (our students come to us as they have disengaged from education due to sense of failure etc), i feel this course and its information is very relevant to how myself and colleagues could improve. The delivery of the content, anecdotes and research is made even more engaging through Dan’s ability to speak ‘with’ his audience as opposed with speaking ‘to’ his audience. He had my focus throughout and I hope to attend a live session some day.
