Abstract

This HLM study tested the relationship between variables of a teacher’s individual growth mindset (innate/fixed belief), a school’s growth mindset culture (WMSM), a school’s collective efficacy (CE), and student academic outcomes aggregated at the classroom level (ELA SBAC scores) controlling for the community/school’s socio economic status measured by Free and Reduced Meal Plan percent enrollment and for School Size. Empirical research seeks
reliable evidence of factors that influence student outcomes and therefore warrant further study. The variables selected in this study are psychosocial variables malleable to administrator and teacher influence.
