Growth Mindset
£9.99About this course
Dr. Carol Dweck’s research into growth mindset changed education forever. She put forward that one of the most basic beliefs we carry about ourselves, has to do with how we view what we consider to be our personality. A “fixed mindset” assumes that our character, intelligence, and creativity are static; we can’t change them, and success is the end product of that inherent intelligence. A “growth mindset,” on the other hand, thrives on challenge and sees failure not as evidence of unintelligence but as opportunities to learn, grow and progress. In this course, Joe Rowntree will look closely at how we can challenge the way we think and adopt a growth mindset and view ourselves in a more positive way.

Parents: notes
Dear Parent or Carer,
The strategies within this course are designed to help your child develop a growth mindset with regards to their studies.
Your child will learn how to think positively about themselves and develop their internal dialogue. You may find that you would also benefit from taking the course. If so, then you can decide whether to take the course in tandem with your child or independently. When sitting together, I recommend you also take the course, rather than watching and advising your child. Your child will find great inspiration from your participation and seeing you approach the concept from a different stage in life.
We wish you all the best in supporting your child. The very act of you reading this text, infers that you have your child’s best interests in mind. I’m sure they will benefit massively from your help, support and encouragement.
Best,
Sander de Groot
Head of Training
