Growth mindset

Growth mindset in students is very important. This short video will get you started https://www.ted.com/talks/carol_dweck_the_power_of_believing_that_you_can_improve. growth mindset can help students through goals, achievements and so on.

¨A growth mindset isn’t just about effort.Perhaps the most common misconception is simply equating the growth mindset with effort. Certainly, effort is key for students’ achievement, but it’s not the only thing. Students need to try new strategies and seek input from others when they’re stuck. They need this repertoire of approaches—not just sheer effort—to learn and improve.¨ Growth effort isn´t all about effort but a lot comes with effort. growth mindset is more about achieving your goals and getting the fixed mind set. 

Growth mindset has helped me individually because back this summer when i was getting my college stuff set up i did not have all of my things ready for my future and goals. i had to get the mindset that it was time to strap down and get my stuff together and get the fixed mindset.
in conclusion Carol Dweck explained that growth mindset is not all about effort but effort plays a big role, and explained that it could boost their achievements and intelligence, said here in the text 
¨We found that students’ mindsets—how they perceive their abilities—played a key role in their motivation and achievement, and we found that if we changed students’ mindsets, we could boost their achievement. More precisely, students who believed their intelligence could be developed (a growth mindset) outperformed those who believed their intelligence was fixed (a fixed mindset).¨ 

All together growth mindset can help with intelligence and achievements as well as boost them.
