Carol Dweck's Growth Mindset

Carol Dweck, author of Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, invites us to view success differently:

• The brain has almost no limits, each person has a huge potential for progress that can be achieved through effort.
• You need to make mistakes in order to understand that “failing is growing”; children must be given tasks that seem difficult to them. Completing these tasks while making mistakes along the way is fundamental to understanding that effort leads to success.
• It is important to actively practice this revitalising mindset that makes one appreciate the value of effort and take pride in one’s progress.

This growth mindset has become a source of inspiration for our entire school community at Jeannine Manuel School.
