Learning about how we learn is very important for teachers, students, and parents! School is not the only environment that should be used for learning. I believe it is important for students, parents, and teachers to understand how mindset works and how it effects our lives so that we can all become better learners and thinkers. Neuroscience studies show that the brain changes and becomes more capable when we work hard to improve ourselves. A person with a growth mindset believes that intelligence is a quality that can be developed and it takes effort to make us smart- learning is the goal. A fixed mindset believes that intelligence is a fixed trait, effort is bad, and the goal is to look smart no matter what the situation.
