Perts

PERTS is an applied research center based out of Stanford University. We believe that evidence-based strategies should benefit all students, not just the privileged few. To make research accessible to all, we empower educators everywhere to implement evidence-based strategies cost-effectively. We are so excited to bring you Growth Mindset for 9th Graders and to make the latest research on growth mindset strategies actionable to every high school in the United States. Growth Mindset for 9th Graders is based on a long line of studies conducted by researchers at Stanford University and the University of Texas at Austin, including Drs. Carol Dweck, Dave Paunesku, Carissa Romero, Greg Walton, and David Yeager. The Growth Mindset for 9th Graders module was developed and tested through the National Mindset Study, a project of the Mindset Scholars Network led by Principal Investigator David Yeager which was supported by ICF International and PERTS. The software, logistical processes, and materials used to help schools run Growth Mindset for 9th Graders were created by PERTS in partnership with multiple schools across the country.
