Ep.25 Growth Mindset: Unlocking Potential in Every Student
This episode focuses on cultivating a growth mindset in all students, including neurodivergent learners. It contrasts a growth mindset, which embraces challenges, with a fixed mindset, which avoids them.
The episode highlights how challenges grow the brain through neuroplasticity and offers strategies for parents and educators to model growth mindset.
It emphasizes praising effort over talent and reframing setbacks as learning opportunities. Specific strategies are offered for supporting gifted, twice-exceptional, students with spiky profiles, and those with executive functioning challenges. Ultimately, the episode advocates for appropriately challenging and supporting all learners to unlock their potential.
