YOU ARE A GENIUS

​​

Why Growth Mindset Matters in Education:

• Embracing Challenge: Students with a growth mindset view challenges as opportunities for growth, rather than threats to their self-esteem. They are more likely to take on difficult tasks and persevere when faced with obstacles.

• Increased Resilience: When students believe they can improve their abilities, they are more resilient in the face of setbacks. They see mistakes as learning opportunities, not failures.

• Greater Motivation: A growth mindset fosters intrinsic motivation. Students are driven by a desire to learn and improve, rather than solely by external rewards or fear of failure.

• Enhanced Learning Outcomes: Research shows that students with a growth mindset achieve higher levels of academic success.

• A tool to help Neurodiverse Students: Neurodiverse learners can come up against many new difficulties and will get used to never improving, whereas the growth mindset will see them see their true potential.

 

How We Incorporate Growth Mindset into Our Personalised Education Plans:

• Positive Language and Feedback: Our tutors use positive language and feedback that focuses on effort, progress, and strategies, rather than innate ability. We praise students for their hard work, perseverance, and creativity.

• Emphasis on the Learning Process: We shift the focus from grades to the learning process. We encourage students to reflect on their learning strategies, identify areas for improvement, and celebrate their progress.

• Growth Mindset Activities: We incorporate specific activities and exercises designed to cultivate a growth mindset, such as:

  • Discussing the power of "yet" (e.g., "I can't do this yet").

  • Analysing the biographies of successful individuals who overcame challenges.

  • Practicing self-compassion and learning from mistakes.

• Challenging Fixed Mindset Beliefs: We help students identify and challenge fixed mindset beliefs that may be holding them back.

• Building Confidence and Self-Efficacy: By empowering students to take ownership of their learning and see themselves as capable of growth, we help them build confidence and self-efficacy.

• Encouraging them for hard results We know how hard this is for individuals and we are on hand to make their hard results even better.
