EDUT 5083 Beyond Growth Mindset

Beyond Growth Mindset for Learning Without Limits

Did you know that mistakes and struggle make your brain grow? Or that “math brain” doesn’t exist? How about the direct connection between belief and physical change? Growth mindset instruction has been widely adopted as a learning approach by educators, and now, Stanford professor Dr. Jo Boaler levels up to introduce research showing the brain to be truly limitless in both flexibility and strength. Learn how to increase growth mindsets for you and your students within language and professional practice. Explore the ways collaboration and other multi-dimensional approaches directly impact brain growth. Through research and stories around productive struggle, neuroplasticity and a connected brain, this course makes a strong case for embracing and practicing growth mindset.
