East Renfrewshire teacher fires up pupils with growth mindset

Vikci McCabe, a teacher at Neilston Primary School in East Renfrewshire, took part in Winning Scotland's 'Mindset Champions' programme to increase the confidence of her primary 7 pupils. 

"There was a real need to boost their self-esteem", said Vicki.

She used an unusual but effective technqiue to show her pupils that 'she had their back' before embarking on a programme of growth mindset learning. 

This culminated in a vocabulary challenge where pupils used growth mindset skills to learn complex new words. The pupils recognised it was a huge challenge, but they embraced it and eventually achieved success. 

Now, Vicki is supporting colleagues at Neilston to start using growth mindset too.

Watch the full 6 minute case study below.
