Just the word’s “yet” or “not yet”,we’re finding,give kids greater confidence ,give them a path into the future that creates greater persistence.
And we can actuallly change students’mindsets.
In one study ,we taught them that every thime they push out of their comfort zone to learn something new and difficult .the neurons in their brain can from new.stronger connections .and over time they can get smarter.
Lool what happend.
In his study .students who were not taught this growth mindset continued to show declining grades over this difficult school transition.but those who were taught htis lesson showed a sharp rebound in their grades.
We have shown this now .this kind of improvement with thousands and thousands of kids.especially struggling students.
