Counselors, parents and teachers will find Got Grit? to be one of the most unique, thought-provoking, practical and somewhat unconventional guides they've ever picked up. It is based on recent research that tells us that a person's grit (hard work, determination, perseverance) combined with good soft (social) skills are better predictors of future success than IQ grade point averages and standardized test scores.

The lesson guide provides 24 lessons with activities and reproducibles and can be used in a comprehensive "Got Grit?" Program in a school, complete with service projects and recognitions.
