Our ‘mindset’ is the way we approach a challenge or task, how we think and feel about our ability, and how we behave due to the beliefs we hold. The research of Stanford University professor, Dr Carol Dweck, suggests we all lean towards one of two mindsets, which affects our capacity to learn.

We have three professional learning programmes specifically designed for education practitioners and leaders:
1. More Than Mindset 2. Limitless Learning 3. Mindset in Early Years |
We support hundreds of schools in Scotland with growth mindset learning.
Our professional learning programmes improve staff knowledge and confidence, encourage good pedagogy and help pupils become more resilient and persistent in learning. We have also seen some indicators that growth mindset can help raise attainment and close the attainment related poverty gap. |
Winning Scotland is working closely with thousands of teaching professionals across West Dunbartonshire and Aberdeen, South Lanarkshire, Angus, Clackmannanshire, as well as the South West and Northern Alliance regional improvement collaboratives, to deliver these programmes. We work collaboratively and listen closely to the needs and concerns of leaders and educators in Scotland, to design and create programmes that enhance and inspire for generations to come. |
