EdCast Mindset and Motivation Stanford professor Carol Dweck discusses her seminal research on mindset and how, by incorporating growth mindset, schools and organizations can create a curriculum of change. Posted March 15, 2018 By Matt Weber “Can we create cultures, schools, organizations that embody a growth mindset where every member of that school or organization believes they can develop their abilities?” asks Dweck.She plans on building her ideas into a curriculum that she hopes will clear up some of the misinterpretations and misunderstandings that she calls "false growth mindset." One of the most important things, says Dweck, is that teachers convey to their students that they are not judging intellect, but are 100 percent devoted to their learning. Also, teachers must keep an open mind about all of their students.“Everyone can grow and develop," says Dweck, "and you don’t know what they are capable of ahead of time.”In this edition of the Harvard EdCast, Dweck discusses her seminal research on mindset and how, by incorporating growth mindset, schools and organizations can create a curriculum of change.About the Harvard EdCastThe Harvard EdCast is a weekly series of podcasts, available on the Harvard University iTunes U page, that features a 15-20 minute conversation with thought leaders in the field of education from across the country and around the world.
