I was inspired to order GRIT after viewing Angela Lee Duckworth’s TED Talk at a departmental meeting early in the school year. The idea that passion, perseverance, and a growth mindset are predictors of success, in the classroom and in life.

This science writing book by Stephen B. Heard (2016) has come highly recommended.
Putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) to draft a manuscript can be both a daunting and frustrating task! Sorting out how to manage my ‘writing behaviour’ is the first step to achieving my writing goals and ability to meet self-imposed deadlines… I look forward to harnessing the inspiration and motivation captured within Heard’s techniques and shared wisdom!
