Here is an article from the TES about metacognition. This supports growth mindset as it encourages students to think about the process of learning

And a bit of growth mindset for teachers – deliberate practice and how it makes you a better teacher “For example: Simply hitting a bucket of balls is not deliberate practice, which is why most golfers don’t get better. Hitting an eight-iron 300 times with a goal of leaving the ball within 20 feet of the pin 80 percent of the time, continually observing results and making appropriate adjustments, and doing that for hours every day – that’s deliberate practice.” Geoff Colvin, ‘What It takes to be Great’
