Praise - Intelligence vs Effort

This video is a great example of how subtle differences can hugely impact the effort and understandings our students have around learning.  For many years now, emphasis has been placed on encouraging teachers to espouse the effort of the student as opposed to their intelligence - heightening the likelihood that students will view their achievement as something that is not fixed and related to (for example) IQ, but rather, something capable of being developed.  This video explains why.
