Sal Khan with Stanford Professor Carol Dweck

Two of my heroes in one video!  The amazing Sal Khan, creator of the Khan Academy, and Prof Carol Dweck, who coined the term ‘Growth Mindset’.  This short video shares why a growth mindset is so important. A growth mindset is when one believes that your abilities can be developed – and has the ability to see failure as a useful form of feedback. Linked closely to Carol’s ‘the power of yet’, that with hard work, perseverance and seeing learning as a journey and not a destination – that growth (and success) is inevitable.
