In a few past posts, I have mentioned that I am making a determined effort to incorporate a growth mindset into our classroom environment. One of the attributes that is key to a growth mindset is to have “grit.” While reading this article on Edutopia, I came across a link for a great Prezi by Kristin Goulet, “Grit Pie,” that would be great to help illustrate this for students. I love this idea of helping students to realize that blaming others for their problems relinquishes control, and that owning up to their mistakes can actually make them happier with the thought that they have the power to fix them.
