Growth Mindset Erasmus+ Course

PRE-REGISTER (No deposit required)

Cultivating a Growth Mindset in Educational Organizations

Erasmus+ course summary
By helping students to develop a growth mindset, teachers make teaching - and learning - more effective. Cultivating a growth mindset is an effective strategy also for students with a fear of failure. Students with a growth mindset seek better feedback, persist for longer, cope better with transitions and develop better self-regulation. They believe they can improve their intelligence and talent. On the other hand, students with a fixed mindset believe that intelligence and talent are innate and cannot be considerably increased. Consequently, they avoid challenges, perceive hard work as a lack of talent, and see the success of others as a threat. The course Cultivating a Growth Mindset in Educational Organizations helps educators design learning tasks, assessments, and communication with students in a way to develop a growth mindset of students. 

​The learning material is available in: English, Basque, German, Italian, Romanian, Slovenian, Spanish, Turkish.

Course Content

Full Programme

OBJECTIVES
By the end of the course participants receive a bundle of ideas on how to develop a growth mindset of their students. Participants re-design learning activities using the growth mindset principles. They use different assessment techniques, which support the development of the growth mindset. Participants integrate the growth mindset into their communication patterns with students. Because of the fundamental content for teaching in 21st century, this course is suitable for all teachers regardless of the level of education and subject they teach.
