What about Educators?: Leveraging Growth Mindset to Cultivate More Inclusive Learning Environments
Afiya C. Fredericks, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, University of the District of Columbia
Dr. Afiya Fredericks is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of the District of Columbia. Her research agenda includes understanding the impact of implicit beliefs (mindsets) on motivation and achievement, and how to cultivate more inclusive learning environments. She is a recent recipient of the prestigious NSF CAREER grant award for $1.6 million, focused on better understanding how research on implicit beliefs can be leveraged to create more equitable learning environments for minoritized students in STEM.
Dr. Fredericks has been immersed in mindset research for over a decade now and is the former Director of Professional Learning at Mindset Works Inc. There, she supported the implementation of Growth Mindset programs and practices in schools and organizations for 6 years. As a life-long learner, she believes that embodying a growth mindset is a beautiful journey that she works on daily.
