Adopting Lifelong Learning
FIXED MINDSETS AND GROWTH MINDSETS
When faced with a challenge those with a fixed mindset usually avoid it or quit as a way of self protection.
Learners with a growth mindset believe that intelligence is like a muscle, it gets stronger the more you use it.
*This mindset is more consistent with the way that we know the brain learns.
This mindset encourages us to accept challenges, work hard, learn from our mistakes, change our course if needed, and to keep pushing despite our failures and setbacks.
