WHAT IT MEANS 8-16 – Talents, skills and abilities are set traits and can
not be changed. If you know you might fail, you won’t try. 17-24 – Skills and intelligence don’t change much. Like
situations where you know you will be successful and not too much effort.
25-32 – Grades and performances are important to you and so is learning.
33-40 – You can develop skills and intelligence. Learning is more important than always performing well.
41-48 – Believe that you can grow and improve skills and intelligence. Love challenges and know the best way to learn is by working hard. Don’t mind making mistakes to get better.
RESOURCES Most of the information provided is from Carol Dweck ,
Ph.D and her research around Mindset and the difference between the Growth and the Fixed Mindsets.
DEFINITIONS “In a fixed mindset students believe their basic abilities,
their intelligence, their talents are just fixed traits. They have a certain amount and that's that, and then their goal becomes to look smart all the time and never look dumb.”
“In a growth mindset students understand that their talents and abilities can be developed through effort, good teaching and persistence. They don't necessarily think everyone's the same or anyone can be Einstein, but they believe everyone can get smarter if they work at it.”
HAVE YOU HEARD THIS OR SAID THIS?
"good job, you're very
smart"
“some people are just good at
math”
“I’m not good at this”
“I’m awesome at this”
“I made a mistake”
“She’s so sm
art. I w
ill never b
e
that smart”
“It’s ok. Not everyone is natural at this. We’ll move on to something you’re better at”
“If this book is too tough for you, we should probably find an easier one for you to read”
“Wow. This is beautiful. You’re such a good artist!”
“This is too hard”
“It’s good enough”
FIXED MINDSET Intelligence Is Static – “I must look clever!”
Avoids challenges Give up easily due to obstacles See effort as a waste of time Ignore useful feedback. See criticism of capabilities as
criticism of them as a person Be threatened by others’ success
May plateau early and achieve less than full potential
SAY OR DO THIS INSTEAD“This is going to take some time and effort”
“Mistakes help me improve”
“Good job, you worked
very hard”
“I know you are frustrated. Everyone
learns differently. We’ll keep at it
and find your best way to master
this.”
“I can tell you worked very hard at this.”
“Keep with it. It’s making your brain stronger.”
“Seek Challenges”
“I like the way you tried different
strategies.”“I feel clever when…”
“My mistakes or failures do not define me!”
“You should be very proud of yourself”
“Don’t give up!”
“It’s OK to say “I can’t do it yet””
“I can always improve so I’ll keep trying.”
GROWTH MINDSET Intelligence is expandable – “I want to learn
more!” Embraces challenges Persists in the face of setbacks Sees effort as the way Learns from criticism Finds lessons and inspiration in the success of others
Reach ever-higher levels of achievement
Yoda and Luke

FOCUS ON FEEDBACK Nearly half of the feedback people hear comes from their
peers Train / educate to provide constructive not destructive
feedback Specific Helpful Kind
Impact feedback Based on person who was impacted Using “I” statements Vulnerability Create opening for conversation
Create a culture for learning Celebrate mistakes (not ones that are repeated), peer feedback is
GOOD Celebration Grid

AGILE MINDSET
About being Agile, not just doing Agile It is time to change our Thinking, not our Process (Scrum,
Kanban, etc.) Processes and tools will evolve out of Agile Mindset Solving problems will evolve out of Agile Mindset
Embrace Change The way you talk, the words you use, the stories you tell,
the pictures you draw Practicing the practice Stay the course through crisis
Forbes – The Key Missing Ingredient in the Agile Manifesto
LIVE IT This is a Process to be practiced What it means to be a learner Abraham Lincoln said, “I do not think much of a man who
is not wiser today than he was yesterday.”
