Growth and Fixed Mindset Lesson Plan

3/28/2017

1 Comment

 
One of my favorite books that I enjoy reading and that I always recommend to educators is Mindset by Carol Dweck.  The reason why I love the book is due to the fact that I can use the concepts in the classroom, in my personal life, and with situations that I might find challenging such as wakeboarding, surfing, kiteboarding....

I have taken the concepts from the book and have developed a blended learning lesson plan that can taught in grades 3-12 and even in a professional development workshop.  Below you will find an overview of the lesson.

For this lesson, we will breaking apart the class into four groups.  The mini lesson will be provided to a 1/4 of the group every 10 minutes.  The facilitator, aka teacher, will showcase the five key components from the book Mindset, by Carol Dewk.  The video below will show case what the mini lesson can look like.  For a copy of the Keynote, click here.  

Watch the video below to get a quick glimpse of what the mini lesson would look like with your classroom or professional development workshop.  
A 1/4 of the class will be starting out in the Independent activity.  The students can read the articles together or by themselves depending on their lexile levels.  If you have low readers, record yourself reading the articles so the students can listen to the content.  Once the students have finished reading about growth and fixed mindset, have them take a mindset quiz.  (Again, for lower leveled readers, record yourself reading the questions and/or have the students read the questions together)

After 10 minutes, the students will rotate to the Digital Content activity.  (Checklist can be found in the lesson plan template.  Click here to get your copy)
