Mindset Scholars Network: Research Brief
Use insights from mindset science to help nurture your students' natural drive to learn.
When we ask students to engage deeply in challenging content, we’re asking them to take risks and stretch themselves intellectually, which can be uncomfortable.
As educators, we can help students feel safe to take those risks by creating learning environments in which they feel that they belong, see their work as meaningful, and recognize that their intelligence is malleable and mistakes are opportunities to learn and grow.
Our partners at the Mindset Scholars Network created a research brief that synthesizes key findings from 40 years of research on mindsets and motivation that educators can apply to their classrooms. Read the brief to learn more about how to create a learning environment that nurtures your students’ natural desire to learn.
