In this episode, we get to engage with Martin Griffin, an experienced educator and author, to discuss the critical role of mindset in education. We explore the psychological components of learning, the importance of resilience, and the VESPA framework (Vision, Effort, Systems, Practice, Attitude) that can help students succeed. The conversation digs into practical strategies for fostering motivation, setting effective goals, and the influence of parental expectations on student achievement. Martin emphasises the need for educators to focus on process over product and to create vivid examples of success to inspire students. The episode concludes with quickfire questions that highlight the challenges and opportunities in the current educational landscape.
