Grit: The Art of Perseverance
Education is the movement from darkness to light.
- Allan Bloom
WHY GRIT?
Research coming out of the University of Pennsylvania and Angela Duckworth's lab is that IQ is not the total measure of a successful student. She has named the single word GRIT which embodies five different characteristics.
-
Courage
-
Resilience
-
Excellence & Perfection
-
Endurance
-
Conscientiousness
This lesson introduces the GRIT concept to students so they can self-monitor it in their own lives. They will be able to use it in schoolwork as well as their daily lives.
