Stanford university video

I think the video is helpful for us to understand the difference between the growth and fixed mind set. I think that it was very interesting to learn about the two different types of mind sets. I didn't really know about them before and this video was very informational. It as neat to see that this will stay with you even when you grow older. That if you have a growth mind set you will go far in life.

This will affect me as a teacher because, the children with the growth mind set will be easier to teach. The ones with the fixed mind set will be a little more difficult because, I will have to get them to lean how to see things a little differently than what they do. They won't be as willing to learn because, they may think that they already know what is right and they don't want to expand on the idea. Whereas the others will be willing to learn new things and it will help them to grow throughout their life.
