I was able to think through activities I do with my students and fine tune them with a greater purpose. This is the first class I have taken through Be A Great Teacher, and because of this course, I plan to take another one. Thank you! Nikole C., NE.
Grit for Kids was one of my favorite courses from Be a Great Teacher. The material was engaging, informative, and relevant. I highly recommend any teacher or coach take this course if they want to improve their strategies in building grit with kids! I am looking forward to implementing many different strategies that I learned from this course. Kyle T., MN
Overall, I enjoyed this course. A lot of self-reflection and questioning of the techniques I use. I will be adapting my style moving forward. The workload was also meaningful and appropriate. Carl M., WY
I feel this class was very beneficial. I got many ideas I am excited to incorporate this upcoming school year. I like that this class gives you options for what you feel will be the most useful in your role. Sarah S. NE.
Good course to help students with their perseverance and drive while challenging the educator to really think about their own GRIT! The text had practical applications and excellent examples! James D., IA.
I had never heard of this site until an instructional coach shared it with the model teachers in my district. After doing some researching, I decided to take this class on Grit because I knew I could relate it to many areas of my own teaching and personal life. I enjoyed that the course could be completed at my own pace with no restrictions and deadlines until the final project was due. Kim S., IA
This was a great course that offered tips and suggestions for myself and my students to persevere when things aren't going as well as you had hoped. They are easy to implement and can apply to all areas of your life, in and out of school. Christopher Y., MN.
This course was helpful in understanding what grit looks like. I appreciated the conversation starters suggested in the book. It challenged me to think differently about helping students develop lifelong skills. Jessica M., IN.
Good information and the book provided small, quick read chapters to digest a small pieces. Brian B., MN.
I appreciate the pattern and simplicity of this text. I feel the assignments helped me reflect on things I can do as a teacher to help my students build grit. Sharri W., IA.
