"Growth" vs "Fixed" Minds

In "Growth" vs "Fixed" minds by Stanford, two different groups of students go to two different seminars. One that just teaches straight study skills in college. The other went to a session that not only taught study skills, but also had a seminar in teaching about the growth of the mind. "Your brain is like a muscle", it needs to be exercised properly to get stronger.
At the end of the semester, the students who had "growth" seminar showed a significant increase in their grades. Even their teachers, who didn't know which students took these classes could figure out who did. A famous racecar driver even contacted the author of the book about this to see if it would help his performance in race.
As a teacher, I find this to be a very important technique for the classroom. Being a special education major i realize that this is a key factor in a child's progression. I think that special education students need to especially make sure they do not take too much of a break from their studying practices. Otherwise, like a regular muscle, the brain will slowly lose the strength it has gained and you will have to start over from scratch. I really liked this video and it really helped me to understand some ideas that I need to get started on as I become a teacher.
