Zusammenfassung:	This exploratory case study investigated the role of mindset in the establishment of an elementary teacher's mathematical learning goals at different layers of her classroom and curriculum. Data from the critical case of a teacher displaying characteristics of the growth mindset and engaging in the processes of teaching change provided evidence for a unique goal structure that could prove useful to a variety of mathematics teachers and mathematics teacher educators. This layered goal structure featured goals at global, trajectory, and content levels that provided opportunities for further operationalization of the teacher's mindset.
