Growth Mindset

Growth mindset has become a popular concept in education, but are we truly harnessing its potential? Or are we missing crucial pieces of the puzzle?

As one of the only people in Australia to have conducted mindset experimental research on real participants, Dr Justin Coulson has uncovered the facts (and the myths) about growth mindsets—including what works and what doesn’t in real classrooms. 

In Growth Mindset: Transforming Barriers into Opportunities you’ll learn:

• The truth about growth mindset: Uncover the myths and misconceptions surrounding this popular theory.

• The surprising impact of praise and grades: Find out how these common practices can actually undermine achievement.
• Practical strategies for growth and mastery: Learn how to foster a love of learning and a desire for continuous improvement in your students.

This isn’t going to be just another growth mindset presentation. Rather, Dr Justin will take you on a deep dive into the science of motivation, giving a practical guide to creating a classroom where all students thrive.
