Teachers who mentor for success have the mindset that students will be successful, and they become catalysts to make success happen. Likewise, teachers who foster growth in their high-ability adolescents view them as successful now and in need of curricular challenge to grow even more. In understanding these needs, they work to scaffold their students’ experiences and become catalysts for success in the process. These teachers empower students to make interpretive arguments and to take responsibility for decision-judgments. Linking the work of Dweck and Kitchener, the presenter of this session considers ways to teach and mentor for success.
