This presentation proposes a practical framework and actionable steps for integrating Carol Dweck's "Mindset" principles into special education classrooms. We will explore the transformative power of shifting from a fixed to a growth mindset, emphasizing the importance of educators embodying these principles to foster authentic implementation. Many students, particularly those with special needs, perceive setbacks as indicators of inherent limitations, hindering their progress and discouraging further effort. We will outline the core concepts of fixed and growth mindsets, illustrating their impact on learning and resilience through real-world examples from educational research. Subsequently, we will present actionable strategies for fostering a growth mindset, focusing on the effective use of specific praise. Finally, educators will leave with a concrete implementation plan to integrate these practices into their classrooms. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1B1gwrJgE8YTccayKsuzy8ur90_cLPxB69fjIp_33k4c/edit?usp=sharing https://www.amazon.com/Mindset-Psychology-Carol-S-Dweck/dp/0345472322
