Men at undervisning ikke nødvendigvis fører til læring, det ved vi alt om. Teorien om mindset leverer et godt bud på, både hvorfor det forholder sig sådan, og hvad der kan gøres ved det. (...) Bogen består, ud over en kort, men præcis og inspirerende introduktion til nøglebegreberne, af en række lektionsbeskrivelser fra 0. til 6. klasse. (...) På bogens bagside beskrives lektionerne som konkrete og skræddersyede. Heldigvis finder jeg ikke lektionerne skræddersyede, men åbne og idegivende, så du som lærer kan arbejde med dem i forhold til netop din klasse og dine elever. Og vigtigere - eksemplerne udfolder den didaktiske grundforståelse bag en mindsetbaseret praksis, så du som lærer kan opdrage dig selv til at handle klogt i forhold til elevernes udvikling af et dynamisk mindset.' - Kirsten Krogh-Jespersen, Folkeskolen
