Great combination of resources for teaching Growth Mindset。 It has object lesson ideas, video clip suggestions, research, and other book suggestions to teach growth mindset to students。 Great resource for a teacher or parent。

A few years ago, my third grade team reached and decided to apply the Growth Mindset to our classrooms。 The book is well organized with month-to-month ideas。 However, I would recommend the Growth Mindset for older students。

Alli Morrow

This is an excellent and fairly quick read for an “academic book”。 I enjoyed the chapter structure representing one month of the school year。 There are a lot of examples of how to bring ideas from the text into the classroom。

This book is a great companion to Growth Mindset。 It gives a month by month mantra and lessons to teach。 The authors do a great job explaining the research and theory behind the 'growth mindset。' The only way we can get better at anything is to try and have an open mind about learning!

This is a deceptively basic intro to growth mindset ideas and classroom practices。 A good refresher for folks familiar with Carol Dweck’s work with an eye toward teaching growth mindset in the classroom。 It provides lesson plans and lots of lists of videos, articles and children’s books to use in the classroom to promote growth mindset。 It’s organized as a month-by-month guide for teachers with the idea that teachers can try out one strategy a month。 But students and teachers would benefit from This is a deceptively basic intro to growth mindset ideas and classroom practices。 A good refresher for folks familiar with Carol Dweck’s work with an eye toward teaching growth mindset in the classroom。 It provides lesson plans and lots of lists of videos, articles and children’s books to use in the classroom to promote growth mindset。 It’s organized as a month-by-month guide for teachers with the idea that teachers can try out one strategy a month。 But students and teachers would benefit from having the lessons here front-loaded in September。 。。。more

I found this book to be quite helpful。 I already knew the concepts of fixed and growth mindset, but this book gave me a lot of easy-to-do lessons to help instill a growth mindset in my students。 I liked that the book even suggested ways to differentiate for younger vs。 older students。 This book also has a very comprehensive list of other books, articles, videos, songs, and movies to help with understanding and teaching a growth mindset。 This book will definitely improve my practice as a teacher。

Sarah

A really wonderful book full of wisdom and information to breakthrough negative mindsets and sabotage。 Especially loved it’s section on explaining equality and equity。

Kyle Switala

While there is a plethora of useful tips and tricks to encourage a growth mindset, the book seems to be less informative on the subject (but perhaps that's the point?) and tends to repeat itself。 Overall, am excellent read for teachers。 While there is a plethora of useful tips and tricks to encourage a growth mindset, the book seems to be less informative on the subject (but perhaps that's the point?) and tends to repeat itself。 Overall, am excellent read for teachers。 。。。more

5 stars - great read to get you ready for a new school year!

Lisa Greene

It might not be fair to rate this book yet, since I've only completed the first chapter and browsed through the rest。。。。but that's the way this book is intended to be used, and I can already tell it will be excellent。 I've studied the August chapter and am ready to implement its "coaching," with the goal of helping my students grow in the healthiest of ways。 I can always come back and change my rating if my experience doesn't turn out as well as I expect! But I suspect I won't。 It might not be fair to rate this book yet, since I've only completed the first chapter and browsed through the rest。。。。but that's the way this book is intended to be used, and I can already tell it will be excellent。 I've studied the August chapter and am ready to implement its "coaching," with the goal of helping my students grow in the healthiest of ways。 I can always come back and change my rating if my experience doesn't turn out as well as I expect!

A very easy read for any school personnel as well as very insightful for parents of children who may attend a school practicing the Growth Mindset techniques。

Karen

Lots of great ideas for how to expand students' learning from "failure。" I would like to see how someone logistically rolls this out in their classroom/school each month。 Just one more thing to consider in planning for the next school year。 Lots of great ideas for how to expand students' learning from "failure。" I would like to see how someone logistically rolls this out in their classroom/school each month。 Just one more thing to consider in planning for the next school year。 。。。more

I can't wait to go through again next year, month by month! Lots of great ideas, but only one focus a month makes it seem very manageable! I can't wait to go through again next year, month by month! Lots of great ideas, but only one focus a month makes it seem very manageable! 。。。more

Professional reading - very enlightening。 This has given many on our staff some new insights into our teaching and our overall atitude。

Michael Wolcott

A phenomenal resource with countless strategies that can have dramatic impacts in the classroom。 A must have read to plan to implement mindsets that is updated from Dweck’s introduction。

I read this book for a teachers book club。

This is a great book to read to develop a habit of growth mindset。

Julia Scarlato

Chock full of lesson ideas for helping students understand the power of a growth mindset。 Many additional resources noted。 Quick easy to read chapters for the busy educator。 Gives perspectives for teachers of all age ranges!

Laura

Today I finished this book and I feel like this is something that my students need。 As well as myself, I am hoping that I can learn along with my students。

Derek

This is a good introduction to growth mindset and its use in education。 Some of the strategies suggested are best practices generally, even outside of the growth mindset frame。 That made some of the sections of the book scan-worthy for those who have been exploring best practices and are immersed in the literature。 I'm still not buying in to the "grit" buzz。 Working hard should be part of our collective ethos, and shouldn't require a buzz word to get us there。 This is a good introduction to growth mindset and its use in education。 Some of the strategies suggested are best practices generally, even outside of the growth mindset frame。 That made some of the sections of the book scan-worthy for those who have been exploring best practices and are immersed in the literature。 I'm still not buying in to the "grit" buzz。 Working hard should be part of our collective ethos, and shouldn't require a buzz word to get us there。 。。。more

I LOVED THIS BOOK。 I can tell reading it will have made me a better teacher as well as a better learner。 My favorite parts were all of the extra resources so that I could keep reading and also offer reading to my students as well。

2 down, 2 to go。 I thought this was definitely worth reading and had some good insights into how to have the right mindset about learning。 There were a few things I didn't like as much, though。 There were a lot of classroom examples, but the majority were geared toward the younger grades。 I'd like to find more ideas about how to help older students shift into more growth mindsets when they've always had the fixed mindset message。 I've also been a little frustrated about the discussion around sta 2 down, 2 to go。 I thought this was definitely worth reading and had some good insights into how to have the right mindset about learning。 There were a few things I didn't like as much, though。 There were a lot of classroom examples, but the majority were geared toward the younger grades。 I'd like to find more ideas about how to help older students shift into more growth mindsets when they've always had the fixed mindset message。 I've also been a little frustrated about the discussion around standardized testing。 In this, and other, books the authors discuss how standardized testing is not generally beneficial for students and how it doesn't give an accurate depiction of knowledge。 I completely agree with this。 However, the testing does not appear to be going anywhere so I think it would be more helpful to learn how to better prepare students, while not placing all the focus on tests in a classroom。 。。。more

Recommended by Cassie Stephens who I adore。 And I’m not the target audience in that I am not a teacher。

If you are looking for a practical approach to implementing growth mindset into a classroom; this is it。 It’s really an easy read and there are so many easy to implement examples of activitiesAnd lessons to use in the classroom。 I know I will be referring back to this book。

Mark Schlatter

I'm of two minds on this book。 On the one hand, it has a lot of resources on growth mindset thinking。 I especially found helpful lists of videos (some for students, some for teachers) that reinforce the idea that you can improve at learning。 The focus on process praise rather than performance praise was well done, and I found the emphasis on language (e。g。, stems for metacognition) to be an effective and regular presence throughout the book。On the other hand, the organization (one big idea per m I'm of two minds on this book。 On the one hand, it has a lot of resources on growth mindset thinking。 I especially found helpful lists of videos (some for students, some for teachers) that reinforce the idea that you can improve at learning。 The focus on process praise rather than performance praise was well done, and I found the emphasis on language (e。g。, stems for metacognition) to be an effective and regular presence throughout the book。On the other hand, the organization (one big idea per month) did nothing for me; I'd rather sprinkle pieces of all of this throughout the year。 I didn't find the lesson plans that helpful, although I think they were focused on younger grades than mine in many cases。 And while you might consider this a minor point, I was hoping to see some of the very nice graphic design and organization on the cover of the book on the inside as well, but (perhaps due to my electronic version?) I saw nothing but text。On the while, I think this is a good introduction to teaching the growth mindset in the classroom, but I am interested in finding more in depth coverage。 。。。more
