Product reviews for Developing Tenacity

Developing Tenacity is an inspirational book focusing on strategies to promote students' skills and competencies, which the authors term as -˜capabilities'. The authors discuss at length what they consider to be key transferrable skills - including resilience, curiosity, zest, creativity, grit and determination - with the key emphasis on tenacity linked closely to the work of Carol Dweck.

Teaches and tutors in schools and colleges will derive effective strategies from the section on -˜cultivating tenacity', with its focus on creating the classroom climate, building learner engagement and presenting a teacher-led example of how to think tenaciously. The authors, drawing on their work at the Centre for Real-World Learning, show that effort matters more than innate ability - both within and outside the classroom.

Developing Tenacity is a book of the highest quality, showing how teachers can cultivate tenacity in their students to inspire them to reach new levels of performance.
