Grit in the Classroom: Developing a Growth Mindset (60 clock hours)

If you have taken this course for graduate credit through ArmchairEd, you cannot take the same course for clock hours through ArmchairEdClockHours.

The combination of sustained hard work and resiliency, grit is the difference between those who give up and those who don’t. Grit in the Classroom assists educators in creating a learning environment that fosters grit development for all students, regardless of ability. In an era of talent development and the pursuit of excellence, learners must be equipped with the perseverance that is essential to reaching high levels of success. This course provides a rationale for cultivating grit in the classroom with the goal of propelling this topic into discussions of building passion and talent in today’s students.

By explicitly teaching learners about brain plasticity and malleable intelligence (the idea that they can become functionally smarter through effort) and by modeling and teaching specific learning strategies, teachers can help students experience higher levels of success as they develop a growth mindset.
