I'm not talking surface level growth mindset...when I believe in something as deeply as I do growth mindset, I go all in. I continually look for opportunities to share my own struggles and challenges with my students (of which there are many, hahaha) and also to reinforce with students how their effort and persistence have paid off. I also feel it's important to deeply convey to all students that you believe in their ability to make their own choices, tackle challenges and learn from their experiences.
Nearly 15 years ago my then-school's then-reading specialist (who was amazing beyond comprehension) taught our staff about Growth Mindset from her reading of Mindset, rooted in the amazing work of Carol Dweck. I bought into it (heck, I bought into anything this amazing woman taught us!) and purchased the book. Growth Mindset has considerably influenced a lot of my teaching over the years.
