How to Develop Growth Mindsets in the Classroom: The Complete Guide: Volume 9 (The How to...Great Classroom Teaching Series) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

If you want to unlock the secrets of growth mindsets and understand how you can develop them in your classroom, this is the book for you.

Growth mindsets holds out the tantalising prospect of changing the way learners think and, as a result, how they learn. Is it that simple? Can we really flick a switch and see learners becoming more resilient, more determined and more able to persist with their learning?

Change doesn't happen overnight. We know that from our own experiences. But change can and does happen. Something else we as teachers know. You only need to look at how your learners change across a year to see the truth of it.

How to Develop Growth Mindsets in the Classroom doesn't offer a magic formula. It doesn't promise the secret solution to change how learners think. And it doesn't claim to be the only answer you'll need to transform your classroom.
