Learning without Fear: A practical toolkit for developing growth mindset in the early years and primary classroom

Maps out learners’ growth mindset journey from the early years up to their departure for the challenges of secondary school.

Growth mindset is a burning issue in schools right now. It has, however, often been misinterpreted as simply adding “yet’ to the end of a sentence. In Learning without Fear Stead and Sabharwal tackle this misconception by combining bitesized mindset theory with the practical tools and techniques that will enable teachers to nurture children who are willing to take risks to further and deepen their own learning.

Underpinned by up-to-date pedagogical thinking and research, Learning without Fear provides teachers of this under-represented age group with tangible and workable resources that address young learners’ daily needs in the classroom.

Suitable for newly qualified and experienced teachers, from nursery to Year 6, as well as school leaders who want to empower their teachers to shift the learning culture of their school.
