Do you believe that some people are born more intelligent or talented than others?

At INA we don’t believe
• That some people are born clever and others aren’t
• That some people are born with gifts and others aren’t
• That some people can achieve and others can’t
• That people are born naturally great at music, sport, languages, drawing etc.

Isaac Newton “If I am anything, I have made myself so by hard work.”

So how do we develop Growth Mindset at INA?
• We only appoint staff who believe in GM • We discuss GM with students • We communicate our belief in every student • We use GM language • We role model being learners ourselves & talk
about how important mistakes are in the learning process
• We stress the power of practice and teach students how to practice
• We mark and feedback in a GM way

Challenges & difficulties are to be expected!

How can YOU support us in developing Growth Mindset?
• Through the language you use • By not allowing them to believe that they are no
good at something: not yet! • By not letting siblings/others put down their
aspirations • By stressing the power of hard work • Through praising effort, not achievement • Through praising the job, not the person • Through supporting with practice • By discussing learning and learning challenges

• They know that they can get better and how to improve their performance.
