Leaving a high-flying job in consulting, Angela Lee Duckworth took a job teaching math to seventh graders in a New York public school. She quickly realized that IQ wasn’t the only thing separating the successful students from those who struggled. Here, she explains her theory of “grit” as a predictor of success.

After several more years of teaching, I came to the conclusion that what we need in education is a much better understanding of students and learning from a motivational perspective, from a psychological perspective. In education, the one thing we know how to measure best is I.Q., but what if doing well in school and in life depends on much more than your ability to learn quickly and easily?
So I left the classroom, and I went to graduate school to become a psychologist. I started studying kids and adults in all kinds of super challenging settings, and in every study my question was, who is successful here and why? My research team and I went to West Point Military Academy. We tried to predict which cadets would stay in military training and which would drop out. We went to the National Spelling Bee and tried to predict which children would advance farthest in competition. We studied rookie teachers working in really tough neighborhoods, asking which teachers are still gonna be here in teaching by the end of the school year, and of those, who will be the most effective at improving learning outcomes for their students?教了几年之后，我得出一个结论：我们所需要的教育是对学生更深层的理解和从动机视角，心理学视角的学习，在教育上，我们知道最好的区分学生的方法就是智商。但是，如果在学校和在生活中表现出色所需要的能力比你学知识又快又轻松要多得多呢？所以我离开了教学岗位，到研究生院成为一名心理学者。我开始研究在极具挑战性的环境下孩子和成人的表现，在我的每个研究中，我的问题都是谁会成功？又为什么成功呢？我和我的团队去了西点军校。我们试着预测哪些学员会坚持军事训练，哪些会中途退出。我们去了全国拼字比赛，试着预测哪些孩子会在比赛中更快晋级。我们研究在艰苦环境工作的新老师们问一问哪些老师会在学年结束后仍在此教书，并且在这些留下的老师中，谁能最有效的提升学生的学习成果。 |
