Dweck found that students’ mindsets
—how they perceive their abilities
—played a key role in their motivation
and achievement, and found that if we
changed students’ mindsets, we could
boost their achievement.
7. Think like an artist!
Have you ever heard
this in the classroom?
"I can't draw"
"I'm notcreative"
"I give up!"
"I messed up, I
need to start
over"
"This is asgood as it willever get" "I don't care to
try this"
"They are somuch betterthan I will ever
be!"

From the student:
From the teacher:
"I'm on the right track!"
"I can try my best!"
"Mistakes help me learn"
"This is going to take some time"
"What can I do to make it even
better?"
"I won't give up, I can ask for
help"
"What am I missing?"
"What can you try next?"
"The point isn't to get it all
right away. The point is to
grow your understanding step
by step"
"That feeling of drawing being
hard is the feeling of your
brain growing"
