Grit Twitter Book Study
Mondays 8-9PM:October 2, October 16, October 23, &October 30
Most people strive to succeed—be it parents, students, educators, athletes, or business people—the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent but a special blend of passion and persistence.
Some of Grit’s most valuable insights:
- Why any effort you make ultimately counts twice toward your goal
- How grit can be learned, regardless of I.Q. or circumstances
- How lifelong interest is triggered
- How much of optimal practice is suffering and how much ecstasy
- Which is better for your child—a warm embrace or high standards
- The magic of the Hard Thing Rule
Registration will close on September 27th.
Participants need to plan on attending and participating in all 4 chats.
Read on your own. Discuss on Twitter during #LISDchat. Implement new ideas, and reflect on your learning.
