Grit, defined as the combination of perseverance and passion for long-term goals, is a fundamental aspect of success and personal development. It's about having an unwavering commitment to your goals, even when faced with challenges and setbacks.
Impacter Pathway acknowledges the critical role of grit in personal growth and incorporates it as a key competency. The program nurtures grit through a blend of goal-setting exercises, resilience-building activities, and continuous feedback. This approach supports students in developing determination, resilience, and a growth mindset (another Anchor Attribute), all integral components of grit.
The development of grit in the Impacter Pathway begins with a clear understanding of individual passions and long-term goals. Students are guided to identify their interests and set goals that align with these passions. This alignment fuels the motivation necessary to persevere in the face of obstacles. Additionally, Impacter Pathway incorporates activities that challenge students to step out of their comfort zones and persist in difficult situations. These activities build resilience, a crucial element of grit.
Feedback is instrumental in the development of grit. Impacter Pathway utilizes a dashboard that provides insights and feedback, enabling students and others to identify areas of strength and areas requiring improvement.
