Mindsets!

I recently completed an in-class general response essay in my AP language class on the topic of how a person's mindset can be easily swayed by teachers and the classroom and school environment and I was able to apply some of the knowledge on this subject that I recently acquired from my Psychology class. Part of the prompt described in small detail the characteristics of a person with a fixed-mindset and a growth-mindset. Psychologists, especially ones that focus their expertise in school environments, conduct experiments as well as observe students with either of these mindsets. It has been observed that students with fixed mindsets tend to not do as well when it comes to improving their learning skills, while a student with a growth-mindset tends to do very well in school due to their dedication to continuously improve, taking advantage of resources, such as study hall and tutoring, and have the drive to set goals for themselves.
