Dweck Ted Talk:

1. Growth Mindset- Understanding that your abilities can develop and become more. They said things like, “I love a challenge,” or, “You know, I was hoping this would be informative.”

Fixed mindset- Thinking you’re stuck in one place and can’t expand your knowledge “I’ll tell you what they do next.In one study, they told us they would probably cheat the next time instead of studying more if they failed a test.”

2. She says to praise how kids engage in the process of learning. “First of all, we can praise wisely, not praising intelligence or talent. That has failed. Don’t do that anymore.” I like this idea because it keeps kids encouraged instead of putting them down. 
3. “There are other ways to reward yet. We recently teamed up with game scientists from the University of Washington to create a new online math game that is rewarding] yet. In this game, students were rewarded for effort, strategy and progress.” I like this because it encourages kids to keep trying and that is a much better way of growing the mind than putting them down and telling them they are wrong. This shows them to keep trying even if you get something wrong or don’t know how to do it. 
4. I had a fixed mindset with my coach this past year and I thought that I knew what was best for the team but in reality he checked me and it made me realize that sometimes you need to take a step back and re-evaluate the situation and your point of view.
