The latest edition of Mindsets in the Classroom provides educators with ideas and strategies to build a growth mindset school culture, wherein students are challenged to change their thinking about their abilities and potential through resilience, perseverance, and a variety of strategies.

This updated edition contains content from the first and second edition, eliminates content that is no longer relevant, and adds a layer of learning that has occurred since the original publication: lessons learned through more recent brain research, implementation of the concept by educators across the world, as well as the author’s own observations and reflections after working in schools, coaching educators, and talking with teachers, administrators, parents, and students about their own mindsets.

With this book’s easy-to-follow advice, tasks, and strategies, teachers can grow a love of learning while facilitating the development of resilient, successful students.

Reviews for Mindsets in the Classroom: Building a Growth Mindset Learning Community

This 3rd edition of Mindsets in the Classroom is an absolute delight! In typical Mary Cay Ricci fashion, she embeds stories of real educators and real students in her discussion of the latest research, so the reader understands that promoting growth mindset in the classroom is actually doable. I especially appreciate the nuggets of wisdom she has gleaned from teaching growth mindset for more than a decade. I am excited to share this resource with educators across the country.
