A Message from Mrs. Baker
Have you ever known someone that despite all odds persevered? Was it you? GRIT is defined as “courage, resolve, strength of character”. Watch the brief TED Talk below (6 minutes) to see why GRIT is the single most important characteristic to students’ success. (Hint, we are on the right track!)
After watching the videos ask yourself, “Am I igniting GRIT in my students every day?” Do you believe that each and EVERY student in your class can and WILL succeed?
