From one piece Carol Dweck Revisits the 'Growth Mindset' (Education Week) 8 beliefs, in the piece's order there

The growth-mindset message may have stressed effort too much and made change sound too easy

Their words

Maybe we originally put too much emphasis on sheer effort. Maybe we made the development of a growth mindset sound too easy.

Banning the fixed mindset, or using mindset measures for accountability, breeds false growth mindsets

Their words

If we “ban” the fixed mindset, we will surely create false growth-mindsets. (By the way, I also fear that if we use mindset measures for accountability, we will create false growth mindsets on an unprecedented scale.)

Everyone is a mix of fixed and growth mindsets, and growth means staying aware of fixed-mindset thoughts

Their words

Let’s acknowledge that (1) we’re all a mixture of fixed and growth mindsets, (2) we will probably always be, and (3) if we want to move closer to a growth mindset in our thoughts and practices, we need to stay in touch with our fixed-mindset thoughts and deeds.

Reaching a growth mindset is a journey, not a declaration

Their words

But the path to a growth mindset is a journey, not a proclamation.

Teachers should look for ways to help children learn rather than reasons they cannot

education

Their words

Must it always come back to finding a reason why some children just can’t learn, as opposed to finding a way to help them learn? Teachers who understand the growth mindset do everything in their power to unlock that learning.

A growth mindset means telling students the truth about their achievement and helping them improve

Their words

It is about telling the truth about a student’s current achievement and then, together, doing something about it, helping him or her become smarter.

Students need new strategies and input from others, not just sheer effort, to learn

Their words

Students need to try new strategies and seek input from others when they’re stuck. They need this repertoire of approaches—not just sheer effort—to learn and improve.

A growth mindset is not just about effort

Their words

A growth mindset isn’t just about effort. Perhaps the most common misconception is simply equating the growth mindset with effort.

What is a korrent?

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.

Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.

Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post

Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.

The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.

Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
