Many of our schools in Angus are thinking about growth mindset ideas with their children, young people and staff.\u00a0 Carol Dweck\u2019s work has been very influential in helping schools ensure that the type of praise that they give children and young people is as effective as it can be.\u00a0 Some of our schools are linking this to other work such as the Learning Pit (James Nottingham) and GRIT (get really into trying, http:\/\/www.ted.com\/talks\/angela_lee_duckworth_the_key_to_success_grit ) .<\/p>\n

Strategically in Angus we have prioritised four areas of learning focus:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0Growth mindset<\/li>\n
  2. Language of learning<\/li>\n
  3. Feedback and progression<\/li>\n
  4. Teachers as evaluators<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    We see most success in applying growth mindset thinking where teachers and other staff effectively model a growth mindset.\u00a0 We are supporting our learners to value effort, demonstrate resilience and value mistakes as learning opportunities.\u00a0 Learning about brain development has also enhanced understanding about using a growth mindset approach.<\/p>\n

    I have heard some people argue that growth mindset is not a \u2018thing\u2019 that you do, instead it is a way of thinking and being.\u00a0 However when schools start to look at an idea or a theory, there is often a need to drive it somehow as an improvement initiative.\u00a0 I am enjoying seeing different Angus schools approaches to introducing and developing growth mindset thinking with learners.\u00a0 These steps from Ferryden School are fabulous!<\/p>\n

    We are in the process of shaping up our programme for our Angus Learning Festival during the November in-service days.\u00a0 There will be an opportunity to share and learn from each other around our four learning themes.\u00a0 So what can you offer to support in terms of growth mindset?\u00a0 You might not be quite ready to share\u2026yet but where might you be by November? #knowthyimpact<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
