This workshop is designed to be highly interactive and to incorporate the reflections, observations, and collaboration of all participants. Attendees will share, both in small and large group discussion, their understandings of grit and how they see its presence (or lack thereof) in their students and classrooms. Their observations will be juxtaposed against the results of a study focusing not only on faculty perceptions of students, but those students perceptions of themselves. Participants will be asked to use this data and their own thoughts to determine what grit-fostering practices and pedagogies can be brought back to their classrooms and institutions.
