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

This course helped me expand on the meaning of GRIT. More strategies or examples of growth mindset to use in the classroom could have been included in all age/grade levels.
Audrey – GROVEPORT MADISON LOCAL (verified owner) –
I think a balanced course may reflect the idea that poverty *does* have an impact on student learning and it’s not just “grit” that is the singular predictor of success.

Justin – FABENS ISD (verified owner) –
I think this was the best course so far of the GT series. The speaker presents a very useful and accessible breakdown of one of the most important aspects of lifelong learning — growth mindset. We as teachers need to better understand this mindset, and we also need to better understand how to help our students understand the concept.

Autumn – WESTERVILLE CITY (verified owner) –
I really liked this conversation and find it particularly useful to discuss with AP students, especially my seniors who will be transitioning to college next year. I want them to be aware of these mindsets so they don’t fall into the traps that show up in college. I will be showing the Carol Dweck TED talk and encouraging conversation and self reflection.
