Interesting Edutopia article by Cathleen Beachboard, 'Why Students Give Up on a Task—and What Teachers Can Do About It'

I guess not really anything new, but I found it a helpful reminder and clear statement of strategies to use in the classroom:

"Students today are often described as unmotivated when they struggle with challenging work. But motivation is not always the issue. Students begin the task—they open the laptop, pick up the pencil, and start thinking. They are ready to try. The challenge appears when the path forward becomes uncertain and the work becomes uncomfortable.

Persistence is the skill that carries students through that moment.

When teachers normalize struggle, encourage students to talk about strategies, and structure tasks into manageable steps, students stop seeing difficulty as a sign that they’re failing and begin to see it as evidence that they’re doing the kind of thinking that leads to learning."
