A time of reflection often comes with the start of a new year. We often focus on our bodies and what we would like to change, but how often do we focus on changing our minds? This past semester, our Teacher Leadership Academy read Mindset by Carol S. Dweck. This book has taught me a great deal about myself in terms of my own thinking.
In Mindset, Dweck reveals two different mindsets, fixed and growth. A fixed mindset views ability from the standpoint of not being able to change, but rather needing to be proven. Success is achieved when one is proven to be smart or talented. Whereas, a growth mindset approaches ability as something that is constantly changing and developed through learning. Success through the lens of growth mindset is achieved
