The Student Mindset : A 30-Item Toolkit For Anyone Learning Anything

Provides clear, effective and engaging tools for transforming commitment, motivation and productivity. Carol Dweck, whose work on mindset has been one of the most influential pieces of research for modern educational practice, proposes that each person has predominantly either a fixed mindset or a growth mindset. People with fixed mindsets tend to believe that intelligence is fixed and that their intellectual ability, skill set or life chances can't be improved, whereas those with growth mindsets believe that they can. It's not quite that simple, however, and over the last few years schools have put a lot of work into moving learners towards developing a growth mindset. Steve Oakes and Martin Griffin, two of the most prominent practitioners of this initiative, have now produced The Student Mindset especially for students who wish to develop the characteristics and habits necessary for sustained success in college, university and life. They have selected some of the most powerful tools and techniques from their work in schools - including a range of effective project-management, prioritisation, stress-reduction, procrastination-busting and mindset-development strategies - and packaged them into this outstanding practical guide to becoming a successful and confident student.
