How to Create a Growth Mindset in a PE Environment

Many schools are adopting a Growth Mindset approach to teaching and learning. My presentation includes Carol Dweck’s research on the two mindsets (fixed & growth). Drawing on my teaching experience as a physical educator (general & adapted) I identify what these mindsets look like in the PE setting and how to make minor adjustments to help students adopt a growth mindset in all learning environments. The I can’t, and lack of motivation to participate is evident at all levels. I offer strategies to create a learning environment that all students of all abilities will not only succeed but also enjoy. This presentation addresses SEL as well as Growth Mindset teaching strategies.
