In my years of teaching and coaching young people I have found also need these reminders that they can overcome challenges. I know there has been a lot of conversation the past few years in education circles on Angela Lee Duckworth's Grit: the power of passion and perseverance and instilling a Growth Mindset with students. My own school has used this to help students set up S.M.A.R.T Goals each school semester.
I wanted to share some great motivational video clips I've shared with students as inspiration and motivation. I have found these videos serve as good conversation starters to help students discuss their goals and the obstacles they sometimes face. Of course the best way to overcome our obstacles is having a strong support system to help them and I hope that my students see me as an advocate for them.
This is not a complete list and would love to hear any suggestions you might have in the comments section below.
