Additional ResourcesAmy Lyon is an educator from New Jersey who has developed a course on Grit for her 5th Grade students. She has some really cool ideas to promote and teach about Grit in her classroom. One of these ideas is the Perseverance Walk. Students choose a person to interview about a time in their life that was difficult. Students then create a "walk" to show the steps their interviewee took. There's a great video explaining it that I've included below. Take a look at Lyon's other work here.
A quick grit survey especially for kids created by Angela Duckworth.
