You can get smarter VS intelligence is fixed!


Many teachers believe that intelligence is fixed and that a smart boy is 

smart without and effort from her side and student with a limited 

capacity will not improve. This is a common misconception, since 

children’s learning is determined by their effective effort and use of 

appropriate strategies. “Intelligence” is not a fixed inborn limit on 

learning capacity. All children gave the raw material to do rigorous 

academic material at high standards. Intelligence can indeed be 

developed and that effective effort and good strategies are the 

principal determinants of academic success. Are you with those who 

believe in fixed intelligence?
