Please help with my assignment

Carol Dweck's research on "Mindset" is at the intersection of development, motivation, and emotion and so serves as an ideal topic for this unit's RJA. Pretend that you are a member of an Educational Board charged with making reforms to primary education (K-12). The Board has decided to investigate the idea that by changing a students' "mindset," students will work harder and will be more likely to succeed. Research the notion of mindset and propose recommendations for practices aimed at K-12 educators. This assignment has 2 parts:

1) Get personal with the notion of mindset. Take the Mindset Test (LINK BELOW) and enter the following as a response:

  • Identify your type of mindset indicated by the mindset test
  • Offer an explanation for your mindset. Thinking back to your upbringing and educational experiences, can you explain how your mindset came to be? What about you formal educational experience can account for your current mindset.

2) Watch, and take careful notes from, Dr. Dweck's Ted Talk (VIDEO LINK IS BELOW). Based on those notes, submit a one to two page presentation to K-12 educators that has the following parts:

  • An introduction to the topic of mindset by contrasting fixed and growth mindsets and explaining how traditional education encourages one of these.
  • A description of the consequences, supported by research, of having a fixed mindset
  • A description of techniques that educators can implement to encourage a growth mindset (be specific! They want you to tell them how they should be teaching!)
