Grit and The Power of Perserverence

 Grit and The Power of Perserverence:

Two years ago at the beginning of the school year, I was a presenter at our Technology Fair to kick off our new school year.  During my presentation, I spoke on the topic of Grit and The Power of Perseverance, after being inspired by the book from Angela Duckworth.

The concept of Grit and the Power of Passion and Perseverance explains why certain people are successful when other people fail.  It elaborates that even the most academically advanced students are not the same students that are successful during difficult situations.  

The concept of grit and determination are a better determiner of success, rather than grades.

These concepts along with growth mindset, have helped to reshape my teaching and has shifted the way that I look at education.
