Teaching Grit Week 2 - Students who say Nothing!

During this week, I've reflected upon so things about teaching GRIT!

1) How to address student a student who says, "I don't have any goals"?  So on Monday, I had students write a weekly goal in their agenda.   For those students who said, the couldn't think of a goal on Monday, I asked them to think of a goal for Tuesday.

Then, on Wednesday, I had students review their goals and share with another student how they are doing?  Have they achieved the goal?  Still working on it? Or did not achieve it.

2) Teaching Grit must infuse your teaching.  I found myself sniffing out and looking for those teaching moments that may pop up at any moment... And, these moments are so small and fleeting...A casual comment made by a student, "I can't do my homework".  Then I smile and say, "Not yet".

I will let you know how the Girt survey goes.
