Student Leadership Measurement Library
This is a tool to get a quick assessment of your students’ mindsets—their beliefs about the malleability of intelligence, the relative importance of learning and perfect performance, and their attitudes toward effort and mistakes.
It’s important that students not feel labeled by this tool. The MAP categories just represent the way they are thinking and feeling about these questions at the present time. They can change these beliefs, and they may feel differently on different days
