By reading Carol S. Dweck's book Mindset, I learned a lot about my personal learning style, awareness of how I work with others and how much an attitude or preconceived idea can influence the way I live my life. This also has a direct impact on my thoughts as a future teacher. All of this made me realize that as a teacher, I will need to be aware not only of my mindset, but also of how students can be influenced by their mindset. While reading this book, I discovered that in some circumstances I follow a fixed mindset rather than a growth mindset. A very identifiable area in which I have a fixed mindset is the area of ​​mathematical content. Every time I think about being forced to learn or teach math, I completely stop. I feel like I've become this way because for years I've been hearing that I need more work in this area and I'm having a hard time understanding it. So I feel like I've lost all will to subscribe to it when I've already felt defeated. After reading this book I realized that this mentality could easily be transferred to my students because this is one thing that I have learned over and over again from this book is that a fixed intermediate set can have an immediate impact on the state of mind of those people who interact with the person. After reading this book, I noticed immediate changes in my attitude in the way I think and function in school. Near the beginning of the book, page 36, Dewck describes students with a fixed mindset looking at tests that performed poorly to make them feel better, while growth mindset looked to the tests that did well so they can learn from them. I recently found myself checking answers I wasn't sure of right after leaving a test. It's...... middle of paper...... forming productive friendships with teachers. I can say from experience that a bad teacher can have a huge impact on how students interact with new teachers. And if a student has these walls built, it doesn't create a comfortable, safe, or stimulating classroom in which students can work. Which could indefinitely prevent the student from truly learning in class. It's difficult for me to even condense the realizations this book made me reflect on my state of mind and that of others. This allowed me to examine multiple situations and how mindsets can steer outcomes in a certain direction. They can impact lives. Both educationally and as a teacher (leadership role), the mindset of students and the mindset of interacting with others becomes a leading role in being able to provide an environment engaging and safe education for all students..
