the question remains, how do we support students through this?
* with care and empathy as much as possible. It is a balance between support and challenge. Check out @ayoung

What are the skills they are lacking in order to make this transition successful?

How we assess and communicate that process has far reaching impacts that go beyond telling the learning / growing story. Too much and too often can create a culture unto itself that can very quickly creep into…Read more

You have opened the door to the world of “Grit” and it is great and wonderful place. I love how you have tackled this aspect of your students development and made it a focus for the year. The students are lucky to have such a caring teacher and guide. Thanks for sharing all…Read more

It is rich with resources and thought provoking ideas.

I wonder if there was any student feedback that helped lead to you to the final template? What would it look like to co-construct this with your students? @jbornstein mentioned that you were asked to author a chapter in a textbook – what was that…Read more

I think this is something I will have to do this year.

Thanks for sharing these updates! Although much of it is all Greek — I mean, chemistry — to me, I am impressed with how you have carefully designed experiments to try to assess your students’ grit when dealing with complex challenges.

Not only did it create a moment of uncomfortable thinking time it also shifted the class from passive to active.

It is so crazy how much sugar there is in coke 🙂

In particular, I like how you are questioning how much grit your students have already. I am a big fan of benchmarking, so your blog is a great way to keep track of these quantitative data points; however, and this may be too complex for your students, but there is a “grit survey” that Angela-Lee Duckworth…Read more

What a neat activity! How much support did you need to provide the students through the process? What was it about the one group that led them to giving up, do you think?
