    Tasks

    0. Growth Mindset and Grit


    mandatory
    One great way you can support your peers in this program is by reminding them to practice a growth
    mindset. It takes time to develop a growth mindset, and this assignment gives you a great
    opportunity to practice it.

    Preparation
    For this task, you will find 1 person on your cohort who is available to have 30-minute call. You can
    find someone in your cohort channel on Slack. You could use an online word processor such as
    Google Docs.

    Step 1
    Schedule a time for the 30-minute call for as soon as possible. You can arrange to meet virtually
    with whatever tool you wish. Video calling is integrated into Slack

    Step 2
    Once you are on the call, discuss each of the following questions together, making sure you both
    understand the answers:

    1. What is growth mindset? What is fixed mindset?


    2. What evidence is there that growth mindset is important? (Describe at least one study: what
    group was studied, what was the treatment, and what was the result?)
    3. What is the most common misunderstanding about growth mindset?
    4. Why is the word “yet” so powerful for growth mindset? Each of you should give your own
    example of how you can use “yet.”
    5. Is intelligence fixed? Explain.
    6. What is grit?
    7. Give an example of grit from your own life.
    8. What evidence is there that grit is important? (Describe at least one study: what group was
    studied, what was the treatment, and what was the result?)

    Next, you should take turns EACH answering the following reflection questions
    1. What do you understand about mindset now that you did not understand before?
    2. What do you think is more important: effort or intelligence? Explain your opinion.
    3. How motivated do you personally feel to develop greater growth mindset? Be honest.
    4. Describe a time when you failed at something. What feelings did you have at the time? When
    you look back on that time how do you feel now? What did the failure teach you?
    5. Give at least 2 of your own personal “yet” sentences. (For example, “I am not employed as a
    software engineer yet.”
    6. What is one way you can practice growth mindset?
    Thank your partner for having this conversation with you!

    Step 3
    Create a short write-up that includes the following (this is what you will submit to get credit for the
    assignment):
    A. Your partner’s name
    B. Date and time of the conversation
    C. Were there any areas of confusion or disagreement in your conversation?
    D. What is one thing you learned or better understand as a result of the conversation?
    E. Give your own personal “yet” sentence.
    F. What is one way you personally plan to practice growth mindset?

    Step 4
    paste a link to your google doc or a pdf in your google drive below.
    The milestone is NOT complete until you have completed this step.
    You are also encouraged to post your answers to C, D, E, & F to your country channels on Slack,
    but this is optional.
