  15. Teaching and Learning with a Growth Mindset “This growth mindset is based on the belief that your basic qualities are things you can cultivate through your efforts. Although people may differ in every which way – in their initial talents and aptitudes, interests, or temperaments – everyone can change and grow through application and experience.” (Carol Dweck, Mindset, 2006)
