Growth Mindset

I have been reading and partaking in a book study on the book Mindset by Carol Dweck. 

This weeks assignment was Chapter 2: Inside the Mindsets.

Here are the inspiring and interesting  quotes I pulled out from this chapter:

• "for children with a growth mindset, success is about stretching themselves"
• "You can always substantially change how intelligent you are."
• "...the fixed mindset makes people into nonlearners."  Oh no!
• "People in a growth mindset don't just seek challenge, they thrive on it."
• Fixed mindset individuals stress over that "they don't know how to do this - yet.  They forget the yet.

And, I love this about assessments:

"An assessment at one point and time has little value for understanding someone's ability, let alone their potential to succeed in the future."
