Why do some students persist when faced with challenges, but others give up?

Learn about ways of changing a ‘can’t do’ attitude to a ‘can do’ one.

This workshop examines student motivation and achievement, how this relates to beliefs students hold about themselves and the nature of their ability and how this interacts with teachers’ beliefs about ability.

The workshop will:
Equip you with an understanding of the rationale and research evidence behind two contrasting student mindsets

Explore some practical strategies, tools, and resources which will enable you to
develop growth mindsets amongst staff and students, encouraging them to persist when facing challenge

Explore activities that help teachers develop their own growth mindsets and model such attitudes for students

Support you in planning how to change things back in school

This workshop is designed for:
Middle and Senior leaders in schools and colleges

By the end of the session you will:

• Be able to identify growth and fixed mindsets in current staff and student thinking
• Provide learning opportunities to support growth mindsets for staff and students
• Be able to use written and oral feedback to promote growth mindsets

A chance to bring along your work in progress, share it and receive feedback from your session facilitator and from colleagues.
