SDD15: Being Gritty about Getting Students Grittier

Hours: 1.5

This presentation and discussion will explore the term "grit" (passion and perseverance for long-term goals) as used by Angela Lee Duckworth in her Ted Talk. We will also discuss information on "growth mindset" as described by Carol Dweck. These ideas could help students to change their "mind set" to become more flexible and develop more "grit" so they successfully graduate and flourish in their careers.
