Changing Pupils' Mindsets

Methods
32 schools are involved in the project - 5 in the pupil level intervention and 27 in the teacher training intervention. The outcome measures for both interventions are provided by GL Assessments: the Progress in English (PiE) and Measuring Success in Maths. Changes in 'Mindset' are measured using Carol Dweck’s original items, utilising a 5 point likert scale.
NIESR is evaluating the impact of the interventions, using these test scores. We are also conducting a process evaluation which is establishing fidelity of the delivery, exploring teachers' experiences of the programme and assessing potential for wider roll-out.
Timescale and funder
The evaluation is funded by the Education Endowment Foundation. It began in 2012 and will be completed in 2014 when the final report is published.
