    (e.g., preference for challenge, curiosity/interest).
    • Middle years. There is a general ↓ intrinsic motivation, and an ↑ in
    extrinsic motivation (e.g., grades, teacher approval, preference for
    easy work)
    • Secondary years. Transition to internalized motivation (e.g.,
    independent judgement, internal criteria for success/failure)

    What we say... What students hear...
    “You’ve learned that so quickly! You’re so
    • “You’ve learned that so smart”
    quickly! You’re so smart.” • “If I don’t learn something quickly, I’m
    not smart”
    • “That essay was amazing. “That essay was amazing. You’re such a

    Feedback for a Growth Mindset


    “Praising students for the process they have engaged in— the effort
    they applied, the strategies they used, the choices they made, the
    persistence they displayed, and so on—yields more long-term benefits
    than telling them they are “smart” when they succeed.” (p. 18)
    When they succeed: Praise process and growth.
    When they struggle: Give them constructive feedback.
    Emphasize challenge, not success.
    Give a sense of progress.

    Grade for growth.

    And when they say they can’t: Add “yet.”
