Helping Students Develop a Growth Mindset

Erik Offgang suggests how teachers can inculcate a growth mindset in pupils. These tips include:

1. Promote good habits rather than being a Dweck cheerleader.
2. Grading should reward innovative thinking.
3. Use research-tested exercises for developing a growth mindset.
4. Underpromise and overdeliver.

Offgang's article is based on a research report by David Yeager.
