The pervasiveness of growth mindset theory is one potential explanation for the absence of a measurable impact of the intervention: for example, over a third of teachers in comparison schools had previously attended training days based on growth mindset interventions. However, while many staff members were aware of similar approaches prior to their involvement in the project, few said they had used these within their own teaching practices. Due to the ubiquitous nature of growth mindset, it may be hard to find schools for future research where awareness of the concept is low.
