The Growth Mindset: Competing Only with Yourself

Amy, as a learning consultant, has recently been deeply moved by her students’ academic results during this school term.

In short, I‘ve come to truly realise that the greatest value of a learning facilitator (whether a teacher, parent, manager or trainer) lies in helping learners develop ‘the drive for self-improvement’.

👉🏻 For junior high students:
In the first midterm exam, all of our private students scored 95+ out of 100, an impressive result yet one that leaves little room for differentiation.

Among them, V.K., who has long trained in potential development and focuses on reading and speaking, was thrilled not by his high score but because his classmates praised his English and he was selected to join the school’s Cambridge Gifted Programme. It’s an opportunity to do what he truly enjoys and excels at.

For Amy, what stands out is not just his exam performance but his depth of comprehension, his ability to quickly grasp the essence of a story and his near-photographic memory for new words. These cultivated skills have already gone far beyond the scope of a regular junior high test.

👉🏻 For senior high students:
A.L., a student in a gifted class, was hit by a ‘reality check’ right from the start of the semester…an endless list of vocabulary to memorise. She scored 80 in both listening (which she hadn’t prepared for) and reading/writing (which she worked hard on).

Compared to her classmates, her grades might be slightly below average; compared to the whole school, they’re quite strong.

But compared to her past self? That’s where Amy sees real growth.
A.L. stabilised quickly, showing remarkable initiative in self-adjustment. Despite fluctuating quiz results, she never got discouraged! Instead, she identified her weak spots and learned from her mistakes. Amy never forced her to memorise words, but A.L. herself realised that spelling accuracy was key to scoring higher, and hence began practising on her own.

👉🏻 For younger learners: H.C., moving from first to second grade in primary school, recently received 15 Shields in the Cambridge English Starter test!

From phonics to potential development, Amy noticed that she had picked up her older sister’s excellent note-taking habits. Though she studies entirely online, she’s the youngest student Amy has ever seen who takes the initiative to make her own notes.

The idea of taking the test came from Amy. During preparation, H.C. initially got nervous in speaking, but after just a bit of focused practice and ‘without repetitive drilling’, she performed naturally and confidently.

🥰 Learning should always belong to the learner.

The facilitator’s role is simply to remind them:
‘How else can you become even better?’
and
‘Don’t forget to look back – see how far you’ve already come!’

Amy顧問近期觀察學齡期間的成績感觸很深…
Amy gùwèn jìnqí guānchá xuélíng qíjiān de chéngjī gǎnchù hěn shēn…

總歸一句，我深刻體會 #學習引導者（包括老師、家長、主管、培訓者）的價值，就是讓學習者養成「自我突破」的心法！

👉🏻 國中第一次段考，目前我們輔導的家教學生們，清一色都是95/100起跳。不過這個分數已經幾乎沒有鑑別度…

長期練習潛能開發、強調閱讀跟口語表達的V. K. ，他開心的是被同學稱讚英文好，還被選中加入學校的英語資優「劍橋班」，更有機會做他擅長的事！

而對Amy顧問來說，他對於文章的理解深度、還有每次都能很快地看到故事的精髓，單字過目不忘，這些養成的能力，早已經超越簡單的國中段考了！

👉🏻 高中第一次段考，資優班的A. L. 在一開學就被震撼教育，單字好像永遠背不完，段考成績（如圖）聽力沒準備考了80分，辛苦準備的閱讀書寫也考了80分！對她來說，如果是跟同班同學比，那可能略低於平均，但如果是跟全校比，那就是高分了！

如果是跟自己比呢？Amy顧問驚艷的，是她穩住陣腳，同時主動自我調整的優勢！每次小考成績起伏很大，但我們從來不灰心，直接找弱點，知道自己哪裡漏學了，從錯題中學習。Amy顧問也不主動逼她默寫單字，但她自己在學習過程中就意識到拼字是拿分關鍵之一，就自己主動練起來。

從自然發音到潛能開發，Amy顧問看到的是她跟姊姊學來的做筆記習慣！完全線上課的她，是我看過第一個會主動說要做筆記的年紀最小的學生。考試是Amy顧問的提議，原本準備時，發現她口說會怯場，但經過簡短練習，也不刻意在課上一直練考題，而是往我們原先超出程度的進度繼續學習，反而更能正常發揮！

🥰 學習，本該就是自己的事。引導者的工作，只是在旁提醒「你還能如何更好？」，還有別忘了回頭看看「你已經走得多遠了！」。
