    Do we spend too much time on cultivating academics and not enough time on developing "Grit" in students? Education is just now really looking at fostering a sense off passion for students. But, here is the third piece " How do we nurture resiliency and perseverance? jf

Can Perseverance Be Taught? - 0 views

  •  
    "This question is motivated by two everyday intuitions, both of which have been confirmed in empirical research: First, some people are, in general, more persistent and passionate about long-term goals. Compared to their less gritty peers, these individuals are more resilient in the face of adversity, bouncing back after failure and disappointment and otherwise staying the course even when progress is not obvious. Second, grit predicts success. Grit is not the only determinant of success - opportunity and talent matter, too. But on average, grittier individuals are more successful than others, particularly in very challenging situations."

Good luck if you have no grit: highlights from the 99% Conference | SmartPlanet - 4 views

    "Above any other measure, a person's level of grittiness will reveal their ability to execute ideas and sustain long-term goals."
  •  
    If we are preparing students for success in college and career we must develop in them a skill set which includes perseverance and grit. While not as high in Vermont, "25 percent of students at four-year institutions fail to return for their sophomore year, a number that grows to 47 percent for students at two-year institutions." From the local and national pieces that I have looked at the reasoning for this is equally shared among these areas: Lack of Academic Preparedness; Lack of Sense of Purpose and Goals; Lack of Grit. We can't just educate students and expect them to be successful. We must also share Why and How. jf

'Children Succeed' With Character, Not Test Scores : NPR - 3 views

  •  
    On how schools are focused on scores rather than noncognitive skills "Right now we've got an education system that really doesn't pay attention to [noncognitive] skills at all. ... I think schools just aren't set up right now to try to develop things like grit, and perseverance and curiosity. ... Especially in a world where we are more and more focused on standardized tests that measure a pretty narrow range of cognitive skills, teachers are less incentivized to think about how to develop those skills in kids. So it's a conversation that's really absent I think in a lot of schools, to the detriment of a lot of students."
