Growth Mindset

In-house designed posters by SDT



Growth Mindset• Introduced by Carol Dweck, Professor of Psychology at

Stanford University who researched on how people succeed The belief that with practice, perseverance and

effort, people have limitless potential to learn and grow.

Takes on challenges with the understanding that making mistakes and failing are essential to growth.



INSTEAD OF….. TRY THINKING…..I give up. I’ll use a different strategy.

It’s not good enough. Is this really my best work?

This is too hard. This may take some time.

I made a mistake. Mistakes help me learn.

I’ll never be that smart. I will learn how to do this.

Plan A didn’t work. There’s always Plan B.



It is ourchoices thatshow what

we truly are,far morethan ourabilities.

J.K. Rowling
