EP22 020721 Is Your Teacher Viewpoint More Important Than Your Intellect? 👨🎓 👩🎓
👨🎓 👩🎓 I've spent the last week reading The New Psychology of Success by Dr. Carol Dweck, PhD. It's a wonderful book about educators and students mindset. The difference between success and failure is perspective.
Dr. Dweck spent her career studying attitude and performance, and her book shows that your attitude is a better forecast your success than your IQ. She also found that people’s core attitudes fall into one of two categories: a fixed mindset or a growth mindset.
👨🎓 👩🎓 People with a FIXED MINDSET, believe they are exactly who they are and won't change. This problem creates a challenge because anything that appears to be more than they can handle is bound to make them despair, thus overburden their own minds and those of others.
👨🎓 👩🎓 People with a GROWTH MINDSET believe efforts can improve their lives. They outdo fix minded individuals, even if they are of a lower IQ, because they see new opportunities as a way to learn something new.
