Fixed mindset and master mindset

This was a great chart to explain, compare and contrast the two mindsets as outlined by Phil Teeuwsen at our PD day in October. 

Fixed (Performance) Mindset	Growth (Mastery) Mindset
Pupils who value ‘getting it right’:	Pupils who value learning:
• believe that ability leads to success;	• believe that effort leads to success;
• are concerned about being viewed as able and proving themselves;	• believe in their ability to improve and learn;
• gain satisfaction from doing better than others;	• gain satisfaction from personal successes;
• evaluate themselves negatively, giving up/ displaying helplessness when the task is too difficult; and	• are more likely to have a go anyway and show great persistence with difficult tasks; and
• show concern for proving competence.	• show concern for improving competence.
