Growth Mindset
Growth Mindset - It's All In The Mind
We have previously been involved in a major piece of school development which we called 'It's All in the Mind'. This was work on mindsets and included encouraging children, staff and parents to promote a 'growth' mindset.
We were supported in the project by Tony Swainston and we drew on the work of John Hattie and the research of Carol Dweck to plan our actions and the direction of the project.
We involved the whole school community and we continue to develop our work on growth mindsets as we believe, and evidence of impact in our school demonstrates, that developing growth mindsets improves outcomes for everyone.
In order to support other schools and settings who are interested in undertaking a similar project we have provided the following set of resources which we hope people enjoy and find helpful.
Growth Mindset - Power to Achieve
To further develop the ways in which we promote a growth mindset and support children to think deeply about their learning, we are currently participating in a whole school development project called 'Power to Achieve'.
