Praising pupils for being clever Praising effort and learning strategies
Formative comments that emphasise effort and application
Formative comments that emphasise attainment

Building robust self confidence
Giving pupils a strong voice in the learning process and a sense of

Modelling a Growth Mindset
CHALLENGE – EVALUATION – CREATIVITY – CLARITY – FOUNDATIONS – COLLABORATION
What fixed mind set pupils might say What we could encourage them to say
I don’t get it… I can’t do it…. I’m not doing it…
I'm brilliant at this.
I just can’t do ****, I’ve never been any good at ****.
This is too hard.
I’m happy with my current grade/level.
You didn’t explain it properly.
Is this on the exam? What grade/level is this?

Working in Groups of 3 - 4
CHALLENGE – EVALUATION – CREATIVITY – CLARITY – FOUNDATIONS – COLLABORATION
1. What do I know of the perceptions my pupils have of their own ability and how can I find out more?
2. How does this relate to me, in my subject area, for the groups I teach?
3. How can I use the information from this session / my colleagues to move these students toward a growth mindset? (see example handouts)
4. In what ways does this prompt me to consider the language I use with students and the feedback I provide?
5. How can we develop a shared language of learning that explicitly promotes the belief that learning is a developmental process?
Colour in the person that represents your mindset in today’s lesson.
I’m so confident - I could explain this to someone else!
I can get to the right answer but I don’t understand well enough to explain it yet.
I understand some of this but I don’t understand all of it yet.
I tried hard and I listened but I am finding this challenging. I will make sure that I get help with this next lesson.
I do not understand any of this yet. There are things I could do to be a better learner next lesson.
Colour in the arrow, up to the statement which best describes your current understanding.

• Identify 2 or 3 with a fixed mindset. Have a think about what you might take from this session to move them towards a growth mindset.
Post Twilight Activity
• The next half hour is planning time for your TLE work with your TLE partner. This time should be used for co-planning. Please make sure that in this time you also organise a date and time for a peer observation (see below).
• Before the Summer Half Term Break, please ensure that you have had the opportunity to observe your TLE partner and that they have observed you
• This will contribute to your Appraisal at the end of the year
• Other points:- the observation does not need to be for a full hour- notes do not have to be taken as it is the post observation
