Innovate Title 1 Teachers with
Fresh Mindsets: Building
Achievement from Within
Eric Jensen, Ph.D.

7 Fresh Mindsets
That Boost Student
Achievement
Q: “Have you ever tried
to change another’s
way of thinking about
something?”
Our Agenda
!!Define & Introduce 7 Key
Mindsets
!!Share Specific Mindset
Changing Tools
!!Closing (where to get PPTs and
handouts)
1. Gratitude:
What am I most
grateful for in my life?
2. Optimism:
What am I most
looking forward to?
ü Point of view
ü Frame for thinking
about one’s capacity
and limitations
ü Decision-making criteria
ü Set of beliefs that
guide thoughts and
actions in a specific area
Our Mindsets Are…
Dr. Dweck’s
work was both
predictive and
explanatory
using attribution
theory research
Ask,
“Who is familiar with Mindset
theory from Dweck?”
Show of hands
Then say, “We got, 50, 60, 70,
80%”
1. All of us fail, but what we do after we
fail is what usually determines our future
success.
2. If we attribute our failures to others,
luck, circumstances or genes, we’ll likely
struggle. Those are not in our control.
3. But if we emotionally own the results of
the outcome, we can succeed.
4. When we attribute our failure to lack of
effort, lack of ideal attitude or the use of a
poor strategy, then we have locus of
control and a chance to succeed.
The driving Q
in mindset
research is
simple:
“Do I (or do I
not) have
influence over
the outcomes
in my life?”

was possible)
ü  Personal experience (I had to do it so
I knew it would work)

Fixed Mindset
Ø IQ is a fixed,
permanent trait
Ø Looking smart is
important to me
Ø Effort is negative
and shows I
don’t “have what
it takes”
Ø  IQ is a malleable and
it can be developed
Ø  Being a learner is
more important
Ø  Effort is a positive,
since I have control
over how much I
apply
Growth Mindset
How Does Your Staff “Frame” the Challenge
of Succeeding with Students From Poverty?
a)  All in: Everyone is
committed to 100% of
our students succeeding
b)  Sympathy: Most care
and feel sorry for the
poor
c)  Compliance: Most are
sure we can help and
try to make it happen
d)  Indifference: It is the
poor’s problem to
succeed in life

neural regions that represent value and choice. Soc Cogn Affect Neurosci. 7, 782-93.
Fixed Mindset:
After a Failure
!I feel helpless
!I’ll avoid future
tasks like this
!I just don’t have
the “it” so more
effort won’t
change results
!If need be, I’d
consider cheating
!I feel in control w/
renewed energy
!I’ll learn from my
mistakes to improve
!Effort is a positive; I
have control over
how much I apply
!I can learn this with
better practice.

Poverty Impedes Mental Function
The consuming cognitive load, or “mental
bandwidth” is overloaded, for most poor
This translates into:
1) stronger tunnel vision, 2) less
likely to resist what you should
3) more likely to forget things,
4) You have less patience, 5) more reactive;
act first, think later, 6) losing up to 13 IQ points
from acute or chronic stress

MINDSET #3:
Empathy!
(Kids did
not choose
their
parents,
their income
level or
upbringing)
the SYMPATHY by Comforting
of Underachieving Students
Evidence show that teachers who console
underperformers by saying…
1.  “Bless his/her heart.”
2.  “Plenty of people have trouble in this.””
3.  “You have other strengths.”
4.  “Not everyone is cut out to pursue a career
in this field.”
Are a strong demotivator of excellence!
Rattan,A.Good,C.andDweck,C.,(2012)NotEveryoneCanBeGood
atMath.Unpublished(inreview).Contact:e-mail:arattan@stanford.edu.
Teachers who
criticize, yell,
hold negative
attitudes and
use sarcasm
as classroom
discipline will
activate the
fear and stress
areas of the
student’s brain.
Of all the things
researchers have
discovered about the
value of quality
relationships, one of
the most surprising is
that they are strong
mediators of stress. Good
relationships diffuse stress
and make your life easier.
Relationships Can Lower Stress;

Tell Students (and Staff) Explicitly that
“Brains Can Change and You Are NOT
Stuck Where You Are At Now.”
OLD Fixed/Comfort Feedback: “I want to assure you that I
know you are a talented student in general… it’s just that not
everyone is a “math person.”
NEW Strategy Feedback: “I want to assure you that I know
that you are a talented student in general.
“I’ll help you change your study strategies and work to find you
a tutor. I’m going to make a point to call on you more in
class and give you more challenging math tasks.
I really care about your success, so let’s stay in contact about
how you’re doing in the class.”

What are Effect Sizes?
0.00 or less = Negative effect
0.00 – 0.20 = Negligible, unclear effects
0.20 – 0.40 = Small-moderate effects
0.40 – 0.60 = Very strong effects
0.60 – 2.00 = Extreme effects
These are just one way of understanding the value
of educational/classroom factors. There are others.
Effect size is a standardized measure of the
relative size of the gain (or loss) of an intervention.
Smarter Teaching is Critical!
Make a Prediction: Which of the
Following Worked Best?
1. “Way to go!”
2. “Good job.”
3. “You are so awesome!”
Which of these two have a better
effect on student achievement?
A.! “Good job.”
B.! “I like that you refused to give
up. That extra effort will likely
help you get that job you want.”
Wondering How to Improve Your
Chances for Student Achievement?
1.! “Good job.” = 0.11
2.! “I like that you refused to give
up. That extra effort will help
you succeed and maybe get
that job you wanted.” = 1.42
Mindset Tool:
Link a student result
to a prior or future choice
(effect size = 1.42 huge)
Attribution Theory Says!
•! Link the behavior to something you did in
the past so you have a reason to do it again.
•! Link the behavior to a factor in the present
•! Link the behavior to a probable future
outcome, so you have a strong reason to do
today’s behavior.
•! HINT: Many students typically miss the links.
When teachers do this, the effect size is
huge.
Dweck,C.S.(1999)SelfTheories:TheirRoleinMotivation,Personality,andDevelopment
Attribution Training: Linking
Success to a Particular Factor
Most teachers
miss this key
strategy.
The effect size,
within a specific
area, is a huge

year’s worth of

or do you want to change this

Do You Understand What is
Happening in Our Country OR
Do You Have Your Head in the Sand?
We have, collectively,
less than one generation
to turn this country around.
We know what factors ensure
that kids graduate.
We must ensure every single student
graduates either job ready or college
ready or you will not recognize
the country you live in now.
My Gaudy Goal:
100% graduate from high school
“job ready” or “college ready”

7 Mindsets to Foster
165
Our Agenda
ü Define & Introduce 7 Key
Mindsets
ü Share Specific Mindset
Changing Tools
ü Closing (where to get PPTs and
handouts)
1.  Personal experiences (past or new, used to
reactivate or initiate a new causality)
2.  Nudges (e.g. micro steps, increase control,
cultural, rituals, events, posters, systemic, etc.)
3.  Resource Changes (time, money, support, etc.)
4.  New information (give time to reflect, process,
share and make new, informed choices)
5.  Social Pressure (“We’ve got 29 of 32 staff using
this strategy. Let’s get 100% by Friday.”)
6.  Reframing/Attribution (change causality,
“Here’s WHY it happened that way.”)
7.  New narrative (new story, new identity, “Who we
are this year is...”)
7 Ways to Change Mindsets
My Next Step…
1.  Agree on a clear, personal path
2. “Buy-in” from yourself on the idea
3.  Commit to implementation
A – B – C
Thank You!
