17. Teaching our students to use a growth mindset at school and at home

18. Growth vs Fixed Mindset People believe that their basic qualities, like their intelligence or talent, are simply fixed traits. They spend their time documenting intelligence or talent instead of developing them. They believe that talent alone creates success without effort. People believe their basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work. This view creates a love of learning and a resilience that is essential for accomplishment.
