About:

This week we meet James Anderson, facilitator, Growth Mindset trainer and a leading authority on Habits of Mind. He works with teachers and school leaders to bring about systemic change in the way they support student mindset. Today James takes the big ideas about Growth Mindset and breaks them down into chunks that can powerfully change classroom practice. We caught up at the Learning Network office in West Auckland.

Key Points:

Growth mindset reduced to a single word

Shifting from content to process and growth

How to behave intelligently

Explicit teaching of skills and dispositions

How to fail well - disposition as a leveller

Changing how we see more successful peers
