When I take a look at the stats for this blog lately, I see that my posts about growth mindset are getting more views than usual. Â My hope is that this means that many teachers are getting ready to teach their students about having a growth mindset. Â It’s important to read Carol Dweck’s recent statements, however, about how the message she intended to deliver regarding her studies on this subject can sometimes be diluted or even completely misrepresented. Â Students may learn the language of growth mindset without really understanding the practice, especially if we don’t model it ourselves.
That being said, I came across a fun blog called, “Growth Mindset Memes,” by Laura Gibbs (@OnlineCrsLady). Â She has taken some popular meme images and added her own captions, often paraphrasing or using famous growth mindset quotes. One of my favorites is this one:

Students love memes, so they will definitely be interested if you hang a few of these around the classroom. Â You might also want to allow older students to make some of their own – perhaps after watching the Class Dojo mindset videos to summarize their learning.
