Description
Your students are all exceptional people, but what if their future success was more connected to their mindsets than to all of their amazing, gifted skills? Research is showing mindset to be the ultimate predictor of success, rather than skill. Trainer Nicole Shannon has found that students with growth-mindsets, and a sense of perseverance and grit, fare better than their equally gifted peers.
This course will help you:
- Understand why gifted students are prone to negative, fixed mindsets
- Learn to “hear” and reframe fixed-mindset thoughts
- Encourage growth-mindsets in your students

Good information but a bit on the dull side. More examples and applications would help.

Loved the examples, the quotes to motivate from fixed to growth mindset, and teaching the students (and adults) to use the word “YET”.

I loved this course. I have a master’s in counseling (phycology). So I love to teach my students about grit. Many gifted students lack this because everything comes so easily to them. They are successful in all they do…UNTIL they are not and then they give up or criticize that one thing. Make excuses. Students need to be able to have grit and persevere even when it gets tough.

This course about Growth Mindset and Grit was fantastic! I learned a lot about the differences between the fixed and growth mindset.
