    13. Where do growth mindsets come from? Teacher Power Developing a growth mindset in the pupils you teach – the power of what you say. PRAISE – “Praise your children and they will bloom” The self-esteem mantra

    14. Praise with care Teachers often believe that …… (1) praising students' intelligence builds their confidence and motivation to learn (2) students' inherent intelligence is the major cause of their achievement in school. Research has shown that the first belief is false the second can be harmful—even for the most competent students.

    15. Praise with care Praise a pupil’s talents, skills and gifts and you are setting them up to have a fixed mindset. Praise their effort, strategies or their ability to over come difficulties and you will be supporting a growth mindset.
