Abstract

Social emotional learning is essential in educating students, especially in middle school. However, the idea of creating a mindset is an effective way to support SEL as well as change, particularly with students. To cultivate a mindset for change, teachers need to know about the change process and the elements connected to mindset development. After creating a change plan, teachers can help students promote the growth mindset elements. Research on the growth mindset illustrates how it can support student learning and improve the students' view of themselves. There is further research on how part of the growth mindset can nurture one's grit, or the “stick-withitness” to achieve a goal. Through various instructional strategies, particularly the gradual release process, teachers can help their students cultivate a growth mindset.
