you can develop a students ability to have a growth mindset using praise involving use of effort and the process they try.  It increases the students willingness to work harder and enjoy the task more.  Avoid praising ability and intelligence. creating the risk for disappointment and fixed mindsets.

Ways to promote this is using positive reinforcement in the classroom.  Point out the student who is doing the correct behavior in a specific unconditional manner.  Hi student I like how you are prepared for class today by having your note book and pencil ready I'm glad your here.
