I guess what I'm getting at is that to do that for children in school implies that the schools themselves have to either become more adaptable and less rigid or cede some of their authority over education to give students space to try other approaches. It's presumably a much better sell at an institutional level if you can just say "look, we have Growth Mindset worksheets and posters and pamphlets that you can slot into your lesson plans".

The important part is having the teacher teach and inspire their students in a way that encourages a growth mindset. The ideal case for physical material is in training teachers to effectively encourage the growth of that mindset.
