Human beings have tremendous potential to acquire new knowledge,
develop new skills, and improve their brains throughout life. By
explicitly teaching learners about brain plasticity and malleable
intelligence (the idea that they can become functionally smarter
through effort) and by modeling and teaching specific learning
strategies, teachers can help students experience higher levels of
success as they develop a growth mindset. Discovering that learning
changes their brains helps students develop this growth mindset-the
belief that they can improve their knowledge and skills through the
use of learning strategies and with guidance and support from
teachers, coaches, and mentors. Donna Wilson and Marcus Conyers
share strategies and techniques for developing growth mindsets
based on their BrainSMART (R) program for bridging the science of
learning to the practice of teaching and elaborate on their seven
principles for developing and sustaining growth mindsets:
Understand the mindsets. Keep plasticity front of mind. Learn with
practical optimism. Set growth goals. Get the feedback needed.
Improve methods. Focus on progress, not perfection. By maintaining
a growth mindset about your students' learning potential and
applying learning strategies and techniques like those shared in
this book, you can guide your students to continually develop a
growth mindset-and experience a positive, upward learning spiral of
success!
