5313: Part A

Having a growth mindset alone is not enough to determine success. In my original analysis, I thought that having a growth mindset was the step that we needed to guide all students in to change their perspective of learning and education, however, the first step is not enough. Having a growth mindset is one of the many steps that need to be taken to help learners develop and see through a progressive lens. Factors such as possessing the willpower to want to achieve, grit, resilience and the desire to do more also play factors in creating a significant learning environment and the ideal mindset. As an educator, my job is to lead by example. In doing so, I plan to help students monitor their progress goals and celebrate progression. With a growth mindset receiving feedback should be seen as an opportunity towards progression and reaching a goal. To elevate our students we have to start with having a growth mindset in combination with a solid follow-through plan to explain and model what adopting a Learner's mindset looks like for each student individually.
