Growth Mindset : Talk about mindset - Week 4

This week I talked to a friend about growth mindset.  I asked him what he knew about the growth mindset.  He said that he's heard about it a few times on the radio, but that he did not know a lot about the growth mindset, and that he'd never talked about it in any of his classes.

I then went on to explain what I knew about growth mindset.  It's about valuing effort, work, progress rather than feeling good only if the final product meets expectations.  He said this what not really something he applied in his classes, but that he did feel good about an assignment if he tried his hardest, even if he didn't get the best grade.
