Their belief that the next try has a chance of success is what fuels their perseverance, and over time, this results in higher achievement (Blackwell et al., 2007).

studies show that students’ motivation, perseverance and achievement can be increased by teaching a growth mindset (Aronson et al., 2001; Blackwell et al., 2007; Good et al., 2003). 

On the other hand, praising effort and hard work focuses students on learning and creates “gritty,” resilient learners. 

“error climate,” important elements of the classroom environment that can hinder or promote risk-taking and a student’s ability to sustain a sense of self-efficacy (Steuer, et al, 2013). 

Embedding growth mindset in a school or classroom culture includes embedding it into the curriculum. Instruction should reflect the language, strategies, and expectations of effortful learning, risk-taking, and productive failure. Students need to learn how to persevere in smart and strategic ways, ways that may be different from one content area to another. And teachers and peers need to commit to the culture, as well reinforce and reward resilient behavior. It’s a challenge, but those of us with a growth mindset seek them out.
